PaWhitworth works on building support for Project Continua, a web-based multimedia resource dedicated to the creation and preservation of women’s intellectual history from the earliest surviving evidence. This includes raising funds that have enabled valuable groundwork including biographical research, pedagogical exploration, workshops, conference presentations, website concepts, overall program development and a celebration of International Women’s Day in 2013 at the New School University.

Prior to that she supported the Female Biography Project, the collaborative community assembled by Gina Luria Walker, Associate Professor of Women’s Studies, New School University, to produce the Chawton House Library Edition of Mary Hays’s ground-breaking Female Biography; or, memoirs of Illustrious and Celebrated Women from All Ages and Countries (1803), published by Pickering & Chatto (2013,2014).

Her professional experience includes international fundraising and resource mobilization, building working relationships between national and international constituencies in the non-profit and private sectors, many times collaborating with volunteers. Penny received her BA in Liberal Studies from the New School University.

Wikipedia is a valuable and useful resource. Project Continua will continue to add information in order to increase awareness of openly accessible knowledge on women and women’s history by adding or editing articles on the encyclopedia website.
