User:Victuallers/Round the World challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I set myself a round-the-world goal for women's biographies on 24 Feb 2024 based on the one completed by @Lajmmoore: So I added articles for the easier countries which I could find. I try to write "start" articles and the first one made specifically for this challenge was Claudia Riera for Andorra and it was written on 26 Feb 2024.... I think there are about 70 missing countries ...a month later there was about 40. On 6 April there were 30 and on the 14th there were 20 and on 23rd there were 15 - getting harder! 11 by 11th of May, 10 by 20th May, 8 by May 27.. and then it got hard.
