Women in Red is hosting a virtual editathon from March 1 to 31, 2017, on Role Models from Women's Universities in connection with a physical editathon at Newnham College, Cambridge, on Wednesday, 8 March. It coincides with our activities for International Women's Day and WikiWomen's History Month. Anyone can take part whatever their previous experience. The virtual edit-a-thon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in the work.
The main goals of the event are:
Following the in-person event on 8 March at Newnham College, Cambridge, the focus on Role Models will continue until the end of the month. This will allow all those wishing to create or improve articles on alumnae who have gained notability to contribute while providing an opportunity for newcomers to continue to edit in a mediated environment. Please post any problems or requests for assistance on our WiR talk page.
The main focus started as creating biographies of the alumnae and faculty of Newnham College and other colleges at Cambridge University. Similarly, those participating in the online editathon, are encouraged to create biographies of notable women from colleges elsewhere in Britain and throughout the world. Historically these women may have only been permitted into what were then women's colleges. As the editathon is being held on International Women's Day, participants are also invited to contribute to biographies of artists, feminists, and other notable women whatever their occupation.
Although we have no red link lists for them, we encourage coverage of women associated with the following universities and colleges:
