I wish I could comment more than a process suggestion. Sadly I can't suggest anything that isn't common tactics for targeting women, like advertising benefits, favoring skills over particular technologies, a company culture that values collaboration and learning, avoiding terms like "rockstar" and "ninja" or emphasizing perks that appeal mainly to a particular demographic.

As one of my colleagues and friend said, "I don't care if you're a woman or a man, tall or short, this colour or that colour, as long as you get the job done and efficiently, that's all that matters".

Thanks!
