Lots of evidence that not citing women seems to be common:
Philosophy
"One feature of these results was that in the network of the five hundred or so most-cited items, only nineteen were by women. Some quite large components of the graph (including, for example, the part I think of as Epistemic Island) had no women authors at all. Within the network, the most-cited author—David Lewis—had twice many items on the graph as all of the women combined."
self-citation
http://www.eigenfactor.org/gender/self-citation/SelfCitation.pdf
and
http://www.sciencemag.org/careers/2015/09/men-have-greater-tendency-cite-themselves-study-says
“Self-citation is a common practice in scholarly publication;we find that nearly 10% of references are self-citations by a paper's authors. However, in almost all academic fields, men cite their own research papers at a higher rate than women do. Using a dataset of 1.6 million papers in the scholarly database JSTOR, we present results across many academic fields. Despite increased representation of women in academia, the gender gap in self-citation rates has widened over the last 50 years. These findings have important implications for scholarly visibility and potential consequences for academic careers.”
International Relations
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2303311
"we show that women are systematically cited less than men after controlling for a large number of variables including year of publication, quality of publication, substantive focus, theoretical perspective, methodology, tenure status, and institutional affiliation.
… and probably more if I go beyond page 2 on a Google search!

I'd expand Victoria's comment to say that everyone can make a point in
thinking about who they cite and what they may be missing out on. This
ought to also be expanded to the syllabus writing process.

End of CITASA Digest, Vol 92, Issue 23
Hi all,
As a woman in an academic subfield focusing on issues of masculinity I’ve had way too much experience with gendered citation practices (as I’m sure many of us have): Reporters who write about masculinity want quotes from male scholars; male masculinity scholars cite other men (or themselves) in their networks; they refer media to other men in their networks etc etc etc...
Because my male collaborator and I saw way too much of this happening first hand (including with our own collaborative work), we ended up writing a blog post about some fairly easy things scholars who engage in cross-gender collaboration can do to promote women authors: https://thesocietypages.org/girlwpen/2016/02/03/herwork2-acknowledging-and-accounting-for-the-gender-recognition-gap/ https://thesocietypages.org/girlwpen/2016/02/03/herwork2-acknowledging-and-accounting-for-the-gender-recognition-gap/. We are always looking to add best practices to the list, so please feel free to send suggestions along.
Glad to see this convo happening on multiple lists today!
