Why would we need more girls in chess?

I've noticed a spelling mistake. Please amend this as I believe it delegitmises the validity of your concern. Thank you.
I believe all chess players, male or female, should care about the growth and popularity of our game. If chess is vastly disproportionately male, then trying to encourage girls to play chess by making it more accessible to them, is the easiest way to grow the game.

By making it more accessible to them? Has it not always been accessible? Also I think chess is already quite popular no?
