Welcome to WikiProject Jewish Women, a collaboration area for Wikipedians interested in improving coverage of Jewish Women.

Scope

What it means to be Jewish is a complex question; "being Jewish" is somewhere between a nationality, ethnicity, religion, and culture. With this complex question in mind, we seek to expand Wikipedia's coverage of:

  • Historical and contemporary Jewish women
  • Jewish women's organizations
  • Women's roles in and contributions to the Jewish faith
  • Women's contributions to significant Jewish historical events
  • Topics, media, and other issues that are related to Jewish women

Limits:

  • Time period: There is no time period limit to this project. Everything from Biblical times to today falls within the scope of this project.
  • Identity: Any person or institution that identifies as Jewish is welcome. This includes individuals who identify as Jewish culturally but not theologically and converts.
  • Sexuality/gender identity: Queer women are in the scope of this project as are Jewish transgender women. For further guidance, see WikiProject: LGBT Studies.
  • Race: Jews are found in all corners of the world, and belong to many different racial and ethnic groups. Jews of all races are within the scope of this project.

Events

Meetup page for Women in Jewish History Edit-a-thon at Center for Jewish History, May 4th, 2014.

    {{EducationalAssignment}}

    Be sure to click "save page" afterwards. There are further options for the template such as adding the date the assignment will end or a link to your project's write-up at Wikipedia:School and university projects, if you have one. There's more information at Template:EducationalAssignment.

  • The Article wizard helps you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia. There are 6 sections to step through, then you'll be taken to the editing page. As each section is completed, the next becomes available.
