As much as I like to see an event like this happening, and the Women in Science event, I'm left wondering why there are no similar events for Women in Politics or Economics + Feminism.

The New York event will be held at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at MoMA on Saturday, March 5, 2016. We are looking for support in the form of participants and suggestions. Last year, over 1500 participants at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and more than 75 node events around the world participated in Art+Feminism’s second annual Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, resulting in the creation of nearly 400 new pages and significant improvements to 500 articles on Wikipedia. Together, we can double those numbers in 2016! If you’re interested in hosting an edit-a-thon in your city over the weekend of March 4-6, 2016, please be in touch. There are funds available to help node events pay for childcare and refreshments. You can reach us at: [email protected]. If you want to help out in other ways, we are also gathering research materials for the March event: Suggested Topics Articles needing creation Articles needing expansion and/or cleanup Suggestions for online research materials on women and the arts Any existing documentation you might be willing to share on Wikipedia editing or conflict resolution online You can find more information about the project and upcoming events on our meet-up page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism Or on our website: http://art.plusfeminism.org I encourage you to forward this message on at your discretion. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you!
