There's an interesting discussion going on right now on the Association of Internet Researchers mailing list about the citing of women (and women of colour) in academia that I thought might be interesting. The comments are also really (as Gabriella Coleman noted) 'lively' so they're worth a read too. I'd be curious to learn more about how we as a Wikipedia research community fare here too...
