Good question girl. So, we'll reason on this.
First there is this quote which reads:
The brunt of the Paravaci charge almost tipped and broke through the wagons, but we had lashed them together and they held. It was like a flood of kaiila and riders, weapons flourishing, that broke and piled against the wagons, the rear ranks pressing forward on those before them. Some of the rear ranks actually climbed fallen and struggling comrades and leaped over the wagons to the other side, where they were cut down by archers and dragged from their kaiila to be flung beneath the knives of free Tuchuk women.

But notice, it does not say that the women used quivas. As much as quivas are mentioned in Book 4, it seems reasonable that in the passage above, if the women were using quivas, it would have been stated.
Next we have the detailed description of Hereena and there is no mention she has any weapons . . . at all:
"Stand aside, you fool!" cried a girl's voice, and to my astonishment, astride the saddle of the monster I espied a girl, young, astonishingly beautiful, vital, angry, pulling at the control straps of the animal.
She was not as the other women of the Wagon Peoples I had seen, the dour, thin women with braided hair, bending over the cooking pots.
She wore a brief leather skirt, slit on the right side to allow her the saddle of the kaiila; her leather blouse was sleeveless; attached to her shoulders was a crimson cape; and her wild black hair was bound back by a band of scarlet cloth. Like the other women of the Wagons she wore no veil and, like them, fixed in her nose was the tiny, fine ring that proclaimed her people.
Her skin was a light brown and her eyes a charged, sparkling black.
"What fool is this!" she demanded of Kamchak.
"No fool," said Kamchak, "but Tarl Cabot, a warrior, one who has held in his hands with me grass and earth."
"He is a stranger," she said. "He should be slain!"
Kamchak grinned up at her. "He has held with me grass and earth," he said.
The girl gave a snort of contempt and kicked her small, spurred heels into the flanks of the kaiila and bounded away.

Now, when the wagons are under attack, what do the women do? Grab up their own weapons and help defend the wagons and the bosk?
Let's read:
When the bosk horns sound the women cover the fires and prepare the men's weapons, bringing forth arrows and bows, and lances. The quivas are always in the saddle sheaths. The bosk are hitched up and slaves, who might otherwise take advantage of the tumult, are chained.
Then the women climb to the top of the high sides on the wagons and watch the war lanterns in the distance, reading them as well as the men. Seeing if the wagons must move, and in what direction.

No, seems the women have their job which is not bearing arms. Yes, granted, as discussed earlier, the women used knives, but these, most likely, were cooking / meat preparation knives.
So, unless you want to include sharp sticks as weapons of the Wagon Peoples Free Women, you're out of luck.
The dour women of the Wagon Peoples, I saw, looked on these girls with envy and hatred, sometimes striking them with sticks if they should approach too closely the cooking pots and attempt to steal a piece of meat.

Normally, however, the wagons are tied in tandem fashion, in numerous long columns, and only the lead wagons are guided, the other simply following, thongs running from the rear of one wagon to the nose rings of the bosk following, sometimes as much as thirty yards behind, with the next wagon; also, too, a wagon is often guided by a woman or boy who walks beside the lead animals with a sharp stick.
