RE: List membership - more women

Hi,

I am one of the female lurkers. I am working on a project that is attempting to pull together some of the health/medical datasets. I may have posted once or twice when looking for some information.  Generally, I have not posted because I wasn't sure if there was an official organization or structure behind this list - wasn't sure if posting would be appropriate or not.

Subject: List membership - more women


Just a quick aside - I have noticed that I haven't seen any posts from women members.

Is this because there aren't any, or very few?

I was just wondering why that was and how we could individually, and as a group, encourage more women to contribute. I think that the list would benefit greatly from this.
