Agreed, especially because the woman in the comic does not start out as a
contributor.
I think it's great that such a brochure exists, but it's nice to see actual
human beings that you can contact and talk to in help documentation. In the
wikiHow tour there are pictures of the contributors:
http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Tour/Community
wikiHow also has something called Meet a Community Member, that you can see
in the bottom right-hand column next to most articles that describes editors
and the things they like working on. Since half of the active admins are
female at this point, there have been many female faces.
I thought I'd just throw these things out there in case they inspired any
ideas.

Hi,
I like this file, but this is a comic-woman. And the most women I know
do not really identify with a drawn person, especially if you have
this kind of Comic-Women too in Wikipedia:

A comic-person really hate very much!

Hello,
I agree.
We have at least one female rolemodel, though, and she's seen by
thousands
of people thanks to the Ambassadors Programme:

Subject: [Gendergap] Visible female faces for Wikim/pedia
Hello,
my problem in Wikipedia is, that we have not many rolemodels who are
not very known outside of the Wikim/pedia world. The only one, who is
constant in media is Sue.
Sue is wonderful, but where are the other faces of Wikim/pedia? Where
are the other women, why are they hiding?
Ok, we had a Wikimedia-Clip made last year with some female faces. I
like this clip very much, but there you see more male faces than
female again and for animate women to envolve themselves, it is too
special and for my taste too "Wikim/pedia-exclusive".
My oppinion is, if we want to win females, we need more visible female
Wikim/pedians.
Just my 2 cents.
J.
