"According to the embassy, only 17 percent of individuals given
Wikipedia entries were women across all its sites in some 300 languages.
The ratio was 22 percent for the Japanese version.

Many women who merit entries for their achievements in their fields are
not featured, the embassy said, noting that 90 percent of the content is
created by men."
