Questions
Do I need to have extensive knowledge on visual arts? Nope! You will be finding information about the artists through online resources. The important thing is knowing how to choose a reputable source from which to find a good citation.

List of articles to work on

The list is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a starting point for work. If you are not sure where to start, don't hesitate to ask for help! Please add the #ArtAndFeminism tag to all edits on Wikipedia made for this event.
