The Pudding used the xd crossword corpus for an in-depth analysis of gender and racial representation in crossword puzzles in top publications over time. Exactly the kind of research I was hoping future scholars might undertake. Great work, @michmac202.
Crossword puzzles have been criticized for being too old, too white, too male... and rightfully so. @michmac202 looked at the NYTimes + 4 other publications to see how often women and people from minoritized racial groups are represented in the squares.
