Solution. Get some women to put on
bodysuits and bathing caps and photograph them holding up a large WP logo. Fix
the details in Photoshop as required. Put the image on Commons, ask WP women to
put it on their User page, share it with friends on social media, etc. Ensure
this photo is more widely available than that of the actual statue.

Re:
According to Polish women participants on the WikiWomen's Collaborative
Facebook, this has been a source of frustration and has been discussed by the
Polish community. Originally, there were going to be to female and two male
figures, but, that was..scrapped for whatever reason.
We've had a lot of lively discussion on it via Facebook!

I thought it was going up a year from now, but it's this October, so a
bit late. But hopefully they have or ''will have'' a plaque mentioning women
editors. Actually, it's probably best that Polish Wikipedia women editors
approach whom so ever.
But for the heck of it, I found the Polish article on the statue and asked the
question on the talk page, using my best Google Translate polish. :-)

I see there is a Polish Gender gap project but don't have energy right now to
see what their input was,

Better late than never noticed a Polish Gender studies group so left
message there too.
