About
Art Feminism is an international campaign that addresses problems with Wikipedia’s representation of women. Less than 13% of Wikipedia contributors are female and articles on notable women’s history in the arts are missing. In an effort to start addressing the gender gap and representation challenge, the Art Feminism campaign calls for people to participate in international edit-a-thons to create better coverage of women. Anyone can stop by an edit-a-thon to get training and resource to start improving Wikipedia.
