The question remains: Why don't more women edit even those articles that we know women are interested in? And is there anything we can do to facilitate more participation?
Why should they?
Take this as a provocative question, but seriously, why should "women edit even those articles that we know women are interested in?"
And to broaden the question, why is it that we want more women to edit Wikipedia? What does it bring? What is missing if they don't?
I think this should probably be our very first question. It's been given some answers in many emails on this list already, but I think that a brainstorming thread dedicated to the question might trigger some interesting responses.
