Thanks Katie,
This is good news, but it does continue the idea that the gender gap is a
women's problem.
This is much too important to leave to < 20% of our editors.... but maybe
these interviews will say that. I hope so.
There have been >45 women in red editathons organised by Ewan and they
should get a mention I reckon.
I could offer you a blog on the subject?

Hi all
We've done a series of interviews with some great women who are closing
the gender gap on Wikipedia and its sister projects for Women's History
Month. They'll be released every Monday in March at 4pm on our YouTube.
First up is Kira Wisniewski, Executive Director at Art+Feminism, going
live here <https://youtu.be/F4DQnwnFrqM>. Then we'll have Rebecca O'Neill
from Wikimedia Community Ireland, Victoria Leonard from the Women's
Classics Committee, Alice White our Wikimedian in Residence at the
Wellcome Trust, and finally Lucy to round up the month and Wikimedia UK's
activities.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend in the sunshine.
Best wishes
Katie
