Also, WikiProject Feminism on the English Wikipedia has lots of ongoing
projects, although they are generally asynchronous on-wiki efforts rather
than in-person edit-a-thons. For example:
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/NWHP_biographies
(only 7 left)
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/AWHT_biographies
*
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dictionary_of_National_Biography/Missing_women
(only Louisa Henrietta de Rivarol is lacking)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Open_tasks

Most of these aren't actually specific to feminism, but are just efforts to
fill in missing biographies on women (similar to a lot of the Art+Feminism
work). If anyone wants to propose new ideas for women-related topics to
tackle, feel free to post them on the project talk page:
