Hi everyone,

Please welcome Liz Kent Leon, our new co-moderator of the gender gap list.

Liz is a librarian at Sweet Brian College, a small women's college in Virginia. She started, and continues to maintain Gifts of Speech[1], the world's largest, free, online, collection of full-text speeches by women in the world. She's active on social media, tweeting[2] about women's issues and maintaining Sweet Briar's Gender Studies Facebook page. She participated in the recent THATcamp Feminism events and has participated in the National Women's Studies Association conference.

She started editing Wikipedia in 2008, and has written two articles in the process. She's been an active member of the Women's Studies Email List and brings her experience from that list with her to help co-moderate Gender Gap-L.

Welcome co-moderator Liz, and thank you for volunteering.

-Sarah
