Or does it not appeal to a female audience?

Well obviously there's female gamers. Optic Nation has a competitive team that is all girls. As far as 40k goes my friends GF plays Necron and while my GF doesn't play she thinks it's awesome and enjoys watching me build and paint all of my models.

My roommate collects and paints the models but doesn't actually use them for games so technically she doesn't "play" Warhammer. I do know two others in my gaming group that do, however. One of them is really into the fluff too. To the point where she often corrects me when discussing it. In fact, she was the person who first got me into the 40k novels when she loaned me the first Horus Heresy book.

Needless to say, however, the male-female ratio is more than a little unbalanced. 40k isn't the way to go if you're looking for a hobby that allows you to interact with a lot of women.

The Gender Ratio is something like 40:1 or worse, but yeah, women play 40K. There's a local player named Rachael who won the 2003 Seattle GT (can't remember if it was best Overall or Best General, but I've played her a few times and wouldn't doubt either).

I know at least two women who own Game Stores (Guardian Games in Portland and Olympia Cards and Comics in Olympia), and Angel from Guardian captained a team at the OFCC last year.

There's no such thing as "supposed to," and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.

Yeah there are, but like others said not a whole lot. Where I go there are no girl gamers, most likely how everyone behaves, dirty jokes and what not. Now once or twice a girl has come downstairs to look at the game, but ever play.
