I think Sarah's point was that one could add this category to the Wikipedia articles on women Wikipedians, and not on their userpages.

Of course, I do not want anybody to put any category on my userpage too. But if an article about me existed on Wikipedia, it is not under my control to choose which category that page should belong to.

And yes, I added Category : Female Wikipedians to my userpage a few minutes ago :)

Umm, please don't do that. Users themselves should be the sole deciders of what categories they wish to link to. For example, I hope nobody puts that category on my userpage, and if they do it will be removed as soon as I can log in.

Some people deliberately choose not to categorize themselves.

Don't forget, you can also add the category to any women you might know who have Wikipedia articles and are Wikipedians.
Such as Sue or Valerie!
