Well, personally the Saudi elections were only to a powerless, rubber-stamp body. I applaud the "Because it's 2015" statement by Justin Trudeau, as well as banning of online harassment (although I cannot access these sites being Chinese) and believe that a [[Women in 2015]] article would be very nice to the project.

在 2016-01-02 14:12:52，"Neotarf" <[email protected]> 写道： That's a great idea. These retrospectives are always a lot of fun. There used to be a TV series that reviewed the news of the week--That Was The Week That Was--a comedy though, not serious. They also serve as a catchup for any events that you missed while traveling or whatever, I had thought it was Smallbones who suggested it, but didn't check. So thank you to Smallbones. These would be a lot easier to write if people would keep track of possible events to include throughout the year. Then at the end of the year, you would have all the sources and would just have to choose the most significant events, or whatever criteria you were using. Some of the links I gave above are not so much events as trends. I have also just thought of Justin Trudeau's "Because it's 2015" statement. Also some private companies that stepped into the act and banned online harassment--Reddit and Facebook took steps against online harassment after the iCloud hack, Google and Bing took action over the summer, and Twitter, which had defined itself as as a platform for speech, banned harassment against all expectation. Then there are annual things like pay equity day, that could become an annual feature. Sue Gardner's Twitter has some info about women leaving tech in the side bar, that might be a good starting point for career trends. There might also be developments in women's health that people really should know about--treatments that become outmoded, discoveries, etc. I would prefer to call it just "Women in 2015", or something along those lines--sort of a State of the Union report. This doesn't really fit under the GGTF rubric, does it. Would it be worthwhile to start a separate project?

It would be wonderful to create a series of "women's rights in ...", going back decades. Thank you for compiling those sources. Happy New Year, everyone!

Since my pet project is women scientists I want to note some articles that these sources could be used for. And a hearty congratulations to Maia for a lovely article from Scientific American! I'm quite pleasantly surprised that half already had articles - and yes, this is progress. I'm going to write [[Margaret Tisdale]] this weekend, and y'all can hold me to it. * [[Kathryn Barnard]] is a redlink * [[Aída Fernández Ríos]] is a redlink * [[Anita Kurmann]] is a redlink * [[Dottie Thomas]] is a redlink * [[Margaret Tisdale]] is a redlink Happy new year everyone! -Emily On Thu, Dec 31, 2015 at 6:47 PM, Neotarf <[email protected]> wrote: I notice someone suggested a followup to last year's Women's rights in 2014 article. I was hoping someone would write one, mostly because I don't usually follow these issues, and I found the last one rather informative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_rights_in_2014 The only gender-related events that stood out for me this year were the Saudi elections, with women both voting and running for office for the first time, and Gambia doing away with FGM. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, or just read up on it, here is start on sources. There are five women listed in the last link who do not yet have Wikipedia articles: Kathryn Barnard, Aída Fernández Ríos, Anita Kurmann, Dottie Thomas, and Margaret Tisdale. A couple of them have NYT obits, so some definite gaps in WP coverage there.
