I started a lot of women's categories to increase visability of women 
and diversity on WP.... Unfortunately many of them have been attacked 
and deleted by mainly male editors. Here are just a few (some deleted):<br>

Asian American women in sports<br>

<br>

African American Women<br>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:African_American_women">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:African_American_women</a><br>

<br>

This category was hugely attacked for a while, but many have long since given up on their fight.<br>

<br>

Hispanic and Latino American Women<br>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hispanic_and_Latino_American_women">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hispanic_and_Latino_American_women</a><br>

<br>

This category was attacked at first, but not as ferociously as the AAW category. <br>

<br>

Interestingly, while the Asian American women in sports category was 
deleted shortly after creation, the African American women in sports 
category still holds strong. Tells you something about stereotypes?<br>

<br>

In any event, this was before I found out about the Gender Gap list.... 
And I have pretty much given up on my mission to make diversity and 
women more visible in the categories. I am now focusing on writing 
articles on the subtopics. I encourage others to write more articles to increase visibility of diversity on Wikipedia.<br><br>--<br>Maggie<br>
