Women in Open Source/Free Software bibliography

This list is intended to be a complete bibliography of published research findings on female participation in Open Source or Free Software (note: not on female participation in IT, technical careers or computing in general). Please send bibliographic information suitable for citation (and links to online copies where available) through our contact form.

Please note that this list is restricted to publications by third parties (as in, you must have submitted the article or talk somewhere and had it chosen for publication) rather than self-published articles, because the latter list is too long.
