Hi Laura!
There is some gender information from the 2011 Editor Survey: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Survey_2011/Women_Editors
The country-by-country data would have to be done separately, though, by downloading the data: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Survey_2011#Data
Hope this helps! Jessie

The study used bibliometric data (that is, data that is recorded in the journal or conference publication in structured format). That does not include gender information, so the study has no such information.
Ouch. :/ Given Sue's comments about the importance of fixing the gendergap, do you know if any research was conducted as part of the Northern Hemisphere Summer of Research? And if any of that research deals with different female populations and is actionable? Is there any research currently being done about women on Wikipedia, especially with the scope of language and nationality as ways of separating and understanding different populations?
I was really hoping this would be a lot easier, and we had the research data, had benchmarks and could just drop it in. :(
