Hi all,
I'm currently conducting some research on self-identified women editors and their work
on Wikipedia English. Despite all the research/media discussing how few women edit, very
little is known about the experiences of women who actively edit Wikipedia. To better
understand the gender gap-- and how to address it-- much more needs to be known about
women editors' experiences and perspectives. For more information about the study, you
can visit

If you are an editor who 1) self-identifies as a woman in Wikipedia, 2) has been actively
editing enwiki for 2+ years, and 3) would be willing to be interviewed about your
experiences, please consider participating. The interview would take place over Skype,
phone, or email, and your involvement would be voluntary, confidential, and much
appreciated! For more information or to participate in the study, please email Danielle at

Warm regards,
Danielle
