I've not tweeted much about my work lately. Not enough time! Partly because I committed to writing 1 start-level (ie not stub) #Wikipedia article about a woman every day this year. I got a bit behind attending Wikicon last week, but I just hit my 250th woman's bio ever! So...
Getting to the end of #WomensHistoryMonth and WIR are starting our 300th editathon. Let us share some pics of some of the women who joined the 19% women on #Wikipedia in March. Curated by Penny Richards and clapped by you.
