Archangels are extremely powerful angels. They are said to be some of God’s first creations. They can be considered extensions of God and each represents different aspects of God.
Archangels rank above the guardian angels that are connected to the individual human. In this sense, you can say the archangels have broader and larger responsibilities. Since they oversee broad areas more people get in contact with them. This is probably the reason they have become more famed than other angels. Some of them also appear in the bible and other religious texts.
Even though Archangels oversee big areas they are still able to serve as guides for individual people. They can for instance assist lightworkers or other people that work with their areas. But all people can reach out to them for their help and assistance. This is indeed highly appreciated. At the same time, they can be very useful for us due to their powerful nature. For this reason, I encourage everybody to connect with them and ask for their help when needed.
Even though angels don’t have a gender they can appear in a masculine or feminine form. This is to my knowledge related to the tasks they undertake.

Further Readings
If you want to learn more about archangels I can recommend the book below. It contains detailed descriptions of many archangels and Ascended Masters. It explains how they can help us deal with specific life problems, and how to call upon them.
What I further found out is that it can be used as a tool to find the angel that can assist us at the moment. It works a bit like drawing angel cards. Just turn to a random page in the book. The Archangel or Ascended master described on that page will be suitable to help you deal with your current challenges. This you will often realize when you read more about the selected Angel or Master.
Archangels in the Bible
Both Michael and Gabriel are mentioned in the Bible. Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she had been chosen to give birth to the Son of God1 (Luke 1:27-38). He also announced the forthcoming births of John the Baptist in Luke. Michael is referred to in The New Testament, Revelation 12:8-12, where he battles the evil and casts it out of heaven2. Micahel also appears in the Book of Jude to protect Moses’ body.
