Thanks for sending these along! Since my pet project is women scientists I
want to note some articles that these sources could be used for. And a
hearty congratulations to Maia for a lovely article from Scientific
American! I'm quite pleasantly surprised that half already had articles -
and yes, this is progress. I'm going to write [[Margaret Tisdale]] this
weekend, and y'all can hold me to it.
* [[Kathryn Barnard]] is a redlink
* [[Aída Fernández Ríos]] is a redlink
* [[Anita Kurmann]] is a redlink
* [[Dottie Thomas]] is a redlink
* [[Margaret Tisdale]] is a redlink
Happy new year everyone!

I notice someone suggested a followup to last
year's Women's rights in
2014 article. I was hoping someone would write one, mostly because I don't
usually follow these issues, and I found the last one rather informative.

The only gender-related events that stood out for me this year were the
Saudi elections, with women both voting and running for office for the
first time, and Gambia doing away with FGM.
If anyone wants to take a stab at it, or just read up on it, here is start
on sources. There are five women listed in the last link who do not yet
have Wikipedia articles: Kathryn Barnard, Aída Fernández Ríos, Anita
Kurmann, Dottie Thomas, and Margaret Tisdale. A couple of them have NYT
obits, so some definite gaps in WP coverage there.
