It is a good work Sarah. But I don&#39;t understand why those lists where women are separated from men are needed. I think that the only reason is that there are persons who would need to read only about &quot;female chessplayers&quot;, &quot;female ...&quot;, etc. But in the same fashion, there are persons who need to read only about &quot;male chessplayers&quot;.<div>

<br></div><div>We can see as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_men">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_men</a> is less populated than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_women">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_women</a> Probably you would say that the &quot;male&quot; version of that lists are the &quot;regular&quot; one. But we can see that the female astronauts that are included here  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_astronauts">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_astronauts</a> are also here <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronauts_by_name">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_astronauts_by_name</a> (see <span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:20px;background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">♀ symbol), but there is no a &quot;List of male astronauts&quot;. If we are going to take this approach, we have to start lists for both gender, separated and joined.</span></div>

<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:20px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:20px">By the way, I&#39;m interested in searching for missing female biographies comparing Wikipedia biographical corpora in an automated way and make some lists of red links. I will think about that.<br>

    Hi everyone,<br>
    <br>
    A few of us came together on the WikiWomen&#39;s History Month page to
    create a &quot;List of Lists of Women&quot; on English Wikipedia. Plenty of
    red links throughout the lists included, and yes everything is
    covered involving women! Even women pirates... <br>
    <br>
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_women" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_women</a><br>
    <br>
    I know we&#39;d love to see a similar collection in other languages, and
    use them as tools for figuring out what other lists need to be
    created, but also what articles need to be made. <br>
    <br>
    Also, please take a look at our English WikiWomen&#39;s History Page:
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen&#39;s_History_Month" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen&#39;s_History_Month</a><br>
    <br>
    We have more events that have been added, so please get involved,
    online or offline!  There are also discussions on the talk page. <br>
    <br>
    Looking forward to seeing some great things happen in March,<br>
    <br>
