    Welcome!

    Every year in September, Women in Red focuses on women writers and their works from around the world.

    We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies of some of the many notable women writers, past and present, who are still redlinked on English Wikipedia. Other articles related to women and books by women, such as their literary organizations and awards, as well as the works they have created, are also encouraged.

    The main goals of the event are:

    • to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of prominent women
    • to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
    • to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
    • to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media

    What else?

    • Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you created this month and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
    • If you share any of the articles or images on social media, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.


    Thank you!
