Hi, as some of you may know, the Wikipedia gender indicator [1] tells us how 
many articles are biographies about women x language/country/culture.

In order to compare these numbers...Does anyone knows if there is an existing 
comparison with gender balance in classical encyclopedias? (Britannica, 
Larousse...) or, if not, could someone prepare a WD query about it?

I think it could be a good argument for us to use: e.g "at cawiki 12% of bios 
are about women, compared to 5% in GEC, Our most famous encyclopedia". 

We could compare it also for temathic encyclopedias or other databases existing 
in projects like Mix and match.

Can someone help? thanks in advance
