Solution. Get some women to put on bodysuits and bathing caps and photograph
them holding up a large WP logo. Fix the details in Photoshop as required.
Put the image on Commons, ask WP women to put it on their User page, share
it with friends on social media, etc. Ensure this photo is more widely
available than that of the actual statue.

According to Polish women participants on the WikiWomen's Collaborative
Facebook, this has been a source of frustration and has been discussed by
the Polish community. Originally, there were going to be to female and two
male figures, but, that was..scrapped for whatever reason.

The lack of anatomical precision did confuse me a bit as to whether male or
female.  Others pointed out narrow hips and broad shoulders indicated male.
But this is Catholic Poland. Not Dutch Amsterdam or Venice Italy. So of
course they aren't going to show the explicit sexual details. 

Perhaps the Wikipedia Powers that Be could write a nice letter explaining
how they should have at least one woman in there? That would be really
great!

I thought it was going up a year from now, but it's this October, so a 
bit late. But hopefully they have or ''will have'' a plaque mentioning 
women editors. Actually, it's probably best that Polish Wikipedia women 
editors approach whom so ever.


But for the heck of it, I found the Polish article on the statue and 
asked the question on the talk page, using my best Google Translate 
polish. :-)
