User:Extabulis/Women working with glass
Wikipedia has a well-documented gender gap, which has an effect on the content of the site. Many articles on notable women are incomplete or missing - this includes women involved in art, science, history, and technology. Help address this issue by adding content about notable women involved with glass.
This page currently focuses on women artists working with glass (mostly fine arts), but additions and suggestions for scientists, historians, educators, inventors, and women working with glass in other fields are welcome. If you'd like to add to the list, please use the appropriate section (or create a new section if necessary). If you are unsure which category to use, add your suggestion to the unsorted section at the end. Please add names in alphabetical order.
This is by no means a complete list of women working with glass on and off-wiki. Please consider notability when adding names to the list and creating new articles.
Thanks to Art+Feminism and User:Gobonobo for many of the resources listed below.
