This study was recently posted to the wiki-research mail list; I think
perspectives from participants here would be valuable given the goals of
the study.
Take care,

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Call for Participation in Wikipedia Women Study
To: "wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <

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
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Beyond_the_Gender_Gap:_Understandi…
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
mcdona51(a)purdue.edu.
Warm regards,
Danielle
