Don't be depress Sarah if female participation remains low. Even if Wikipedia was a perfect place without any bias, it would still be a project from the "real world" were lot of forces prevent women from editing : lower confidence in themselves, less free time, lower access to education.
We can't change the world, juste make our small environnement a little less unjust.

No. Only a few examples where women are 15-25% of edits some days but in small Wikipedias or sister projects. They are not representative.
I think (hope..) you might find a high female participate rate even if you aggregate across all of the Wikisource projects.
