This weekend was LDS General Conference, a semiannual meeting where leaders speak to church members worldwide. After following the Twitter #GeneralConference hashtag, I became interested in the frequency of women speakers during past conferences. Using Python, I scrapped 40+ years of speaker data from LDS.org to understand the speaker gender ratio trend over time. Below is the code used and a graphic illustrating my findings.
Over the past 47 years, on average, women have comprised about 10% of the speakers per conference.
