I'd be happy to work with English majors and MLIS students at the University of
Washington. I'm a former English major and teacher myself. :)

Perhaps it's time for a Literature+Feminism editathon (to spin off from the
Art+Feminism theme).

You're right Lennart! It looks like I was limiting the query to only poems which had
the inception date set. I re-ran the queries and got:
Poems by women: 1542
Poems by men: 20072
Ratio: 1:13
Poems by women with articles on English Wikipedia: 162
Poems by men with articles on English Wikipedia: 992
Ratio: 1:6
Those numbers look a bit more reasonable :) But still plenty of room for improvement!
Thanks for double-checking my work.

Interesting. Thanks!
I am not saying the results are skewed, but there are lots of poems that are in Wikisource
that lack Wikidata entries. For instance, this list of Emily Dickinson poems:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Emily_Dickinson_poems
The first poem in her template is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_is_Counted_Sweetes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Success_is_Counted_Sweetest> which has its own
Wikidata entry:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7632593 This poem was not listed on the
Wikidata query
poems by women:
http://tinyurl.com/kq4bq8x nor on the query poems by women on English
Wikipedia, so all poems are not counted as they should be.
This is not to say that there is not probably a poem gap (wonderful term). Just that we
should check the numbers before we go public with them.
Best wishes,

Ämne: [Gendergap] the poem gap
Just out of curiosity, I used the Wikidata Query Service to see how many poems by women
are in Wikidata. The answer is 5. If you do the same query for men, you get 255. If you
restrict the queries to poems that have articles on English Wikipedia you get 1 and 57,
i.e. according to Wikidata there is only one article about a poem by a woman on English
Wikipedia. This probably isn't accurate, but it's still a surprising result. While
I understand that poetry (and writing in general) has historically been the domain of men,
does a 50 to 1 ratio really reflect the historical reality? Anyway, just something to chew
on.
If you want to run the queries yourself (or modify them) here they are:
Poems by women:

Poems by men:
