As a feminine sentence-end particle, わ is used to state a fact or her own feeling with mild emphasis. Unlike わ, よ safely follows an imperative form.

…したわ is a pretty oldish expression equivalent to today’s ……したよ, and it’s not a feminine particle at all.
We used to hear “(それで) せいせい(がっかり、すっきり、さっぱり)したわ – I feel relieved (disappointed, refreshed, clean)” spoken by middle-aged and elderly men quite often until a few decades ago, though we probably don’t hear it so often today.
