WiR redlist index: Nurses

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Red (WiR). Our objective is to turn red links into blue ones. Our scope is women's biographies, women's works, and women's issues, broadly construed. This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. Please note however that the red links on this list may well not be suitable as the basis for an article. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria with reliable independent sources. This list needs to be updated manually.

This is a list under development of missing articles on women who are (or have been) notable for their contribution to nursing and midwifery in academics, business, economics, politics, research, government or the social sector.

• Resource: The British Journal of Nursing has digitized all of their historic volumes which can be found here. The articles are listed page by page, but you can navigate at the bottom of the page for the next page. After searching years, one page at a time, I was notified by We hope that she found a search engine. I have found articles in the BJoN for many international nurses and hope the reference is helpful for others.
