Know edit
There are many women who don't know wikipedia. Make them know wikipedia

In television series,there should be scenes in which stars are editing wikipedia.

Posting status about "wikiedit feeling" on social media. eg,"Today on wiki,so happy"
(3)via Websites and blogs edit
EXCHANGE Let people create a 5 sentence page about their websites,and make them put "edit wikipedia" icon on their websites SEARCH What do women search on google?
around 10 =Cartoon,Anime
around 20 =Actors,Singers,Meanings
around 30 = Beautifying tips,work
around 40 = Family,Places to travel
around 50 = TV,biographies
around 60 = religion
Wiki icon on websites about religion will make women around 60 know wikipedia.
But this icon shouldn't be a link this should be only a picture.
If they want to know what wikipedia is,they will search it on google.
If that icon is a link that directs them to wikipedia main page,they might close the tab.
