Hi Maria, this reminded me of several articles where companies have looked into how language in the job offer would impact the pool of candidates.

One thing to consider is that to get more women to apply you may need to make sure your postings are not like any other since most of the industry has a very low female/male ratio. I think @simonhaiz's comment above has a lot of great insights in that regard.
