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
