[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Gendergap] Women involved in the founding of chapters/WM organizations (and other roles in the movement women have played)

Hi all, User: SarahStierch is creating a timeline of women's and transwomen's roles in the movement or subjects on Wikipedia. Please do send her relevant details from your language Wikipedia! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sarah Stierch &lt;sarah.stierch(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 6:24 AM Subject: [Gendergap] Women involved in the founding of chapters/WM organizations (and other roles in the movement women have played) To: Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects < gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Cc: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination < cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch&gt; Hi everyone, I'm putting together a timeline of women's and transwomen's roles in the movement or subjects on Wikipedia. I'd like to have your input on the following: - Women who have been involved in the founding of a chapter or organization related to Wikimedia projects - First women of Wikimedia projects - women who played pioneering or important roles in Wikimedia projects as say, the first woman. - Do you know the first article or content in your project that was related to a woman? Or perhaps the first Featured Article in your Wikipedia that was a biography about a woman (or the like). I understand that not all women want to be associated as pertinent figures in the movement based on gender! I'd appreciate any insight and media (images released CC BY A or PD preferably) related to this "history". Please email me OFFLIST. sarahstierch at gmail.com Thanks :) -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* *Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow* << _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap Thanks!
