This project is currently at the proposal stage. Please express your support for it on the proposal page.

Scope and Goals

This project seeks to expand Wikipedia coverage on historical women and relevant events/groups/issues. Currently, many entries about individual women on Wikipedia are relatively less complete than entries about men. This is a coverage gap and also a contributing factor in women's relative lack of participation as editors. Creating this project will make it easier to document the gaps in coverage (existing entries and entries that should be created) and to fill them.

In addition, the academic discipline of women's history has focused increasingly on documenting the lives of women across a range of national, ethnic, class, and cultural groups, and a devoted WikiProject is likely to spawn several task forces (e.g. African-American women's history, South Asian women's history, US women's history, etc). Furthermore, Wikipedia is increasingly how students find out about any kind of history, and a devoted WikiProject will ensure that there's an organized effort to keep women in the picture.

How you can help

We welcome new editors who want to contribute in one or more of the following ways:
