PyLadies is an international mentorship group which focuses on helping more women become active participants in the Python open-source community.[1][2][3] It is part of the Python Software Foundation.[4] It was started in Los Angeles in 2011. The mission of the group is to create a diverse Python community through outreach, education, conferences and social gatherings. PyLadies also provides funding for women to attend open source conferences. The aim of PyLadies is increasing the participation of women in computing. PyLadies became a multi-chapter organization with the founding of the Washington, D.C.,[5] chapter in August 2011.
