Did you know that notable women artists are inadequately represented on Wikipedia and that less than 13% of editors identify as women? This Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon will take place on May 6, 2017 as part of the spring semester course on "Women in Art."

The goal of the meetup is to address Wikipedia's gender gap by improving the quality of articles on artists who identify as women and to help recruit and educate new users who identify as women. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to continue updating Wikipedia’s entries on art and feminism. No editing experience necessary.
