Hello Emilie,<br>
<br>
Still Josef Reagle in his study <i>"Free culture and gender gap"</i>
[1] identifies a lack of female role models as a major cause of
gender gap: "...identifies hindrances to participation including <b>a</b>
<b>lack of</b> mentors and <b>role models</b>, discriminating
language usage, a male–dominated competitive world view, and a lack
of women–centered perspectives...". He is not writing just about a
sexism.<br>
<br>
The WMF in its <i>"Gender gap strategy 2013"</i> [2] also mentions:
<i>"...propel women to the forefront of leadership</i>...".<br>
<br>
I would like also to remark, in general, that women are not a
minority. In most industrial countries women are a growing majority
[3].<br>
