Kevin, this is totally kickass! Can other people add to your list? I'm very
busy and don't really have much time for article writing but could
definitely help you find some women that need to be written about.

Looking at that list, it is utterly depressing how few
of the names I know
despite having studied philosophy at university. I'd heard of Georgia
Warnke and Rae Langton.
I'm happy to copy-edit or help out at some point. Bit busy at work at the
moment.
But rock on, Kevin!

Hi all -
Lately, after noticing how few biographies of women philosophers ENWP has,
I have started trying to address the gap in some small way. Until this
week (when I wrote it) we didn't even have a bio on Alison Jaggar, the
person who was largely responsible for the first women's studies department
in the world, and the person who probably taught the first class in
feminist philosophy *ever*.
I would like to eventually create a new Wikiproject on the model of
Keilana's Wikiproject Women Scientists, but for now I've started a
coordination page in my userspace [1] aimed at trying to improve our
coverage of notable women philosophers. I would invite any of you who have
the time to help improve our coverage to do so, either by writing an
article about a notable woman philosopher who currently doesn't have one,
improving the article of one who does, adding another name to the list of
redlinks currently on my page, or in any way you can think of.
Thanks,
Kevin Gorman
