No, I cannot help with the data (although I share
your interest in knowing it).
But, it is probably not too surprising to find
higher concentrations of female Wikipedians in
education and GLAM as there are usually high
levels of female participation in those
professions. If the Wikipedia data exists, it
would be interesting to compare it with
corresponding occupation gender balances. For
example, the biological sciences attract a lot of
women (far more than the physical sciences), does
that reflect in higher levels of female
participation in Wikispecies? Of course, it may
not be obvious what occupations should be used for
comparison? Travel agents for Wikivoyage?
Professional photographers for Commons?

Subject: [Gendergap] Gender data by project
Hi all,
Does anyone know if data about gender of
contributors on projects other than English
Wikipedia is available? In addition to other
language Wikipedias, it would be interesring if we
have data about Commons, Wikisource, Wikivoyage,
Wiktionary, Wikispecies, etc.
Also, anecodotally I obeserve a relatively high
percentage of female participation in education
and GLAM activities. Do we have data about the
gender of participants in education and GLAM,
particularly in leadership roles?
Thanks,
Pine
