List of articles we will be working on

edit

Volunteers should feel free to add the names of notable women in the media or politics who need a better Wikipedia presence. The following lists provides a starting point for work by edit-a-thon participants, either by researching and writing new articles (biographies) or expanding and improving existing articles. If you are not sure where to start, don't hesitate to ask for help!
