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.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_rights_in_2014

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.
