These women are closing Wikipedia’s gender gap – ABC Radio National

More than 80% of Wikipedia’s volunteer editors are male, and this gender bias is reflected in its articles: less than 20% of published Wikipedia biographies are about women. We meet two Wikipedians trying to close this gender gap, one profile at a time. Guests:Dr Jess Wade – Physicist and Research Fellow at the Imperial College London. Annie Reynolds – Wikimedian, WomenInRed project member, family and local history researcher.
