Women and Law
September 2019

New this month:	Alphabet run: U, V, W Asian women
Ongoing initiatives:	Music #1day1woman
Upcoming events:	Ideas

Welcome!

In September 2019, Women in Red is once again focusing on women in law, this time in connection with the centenary on 23 December of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 in the United Kingdom which led to women being admitted to the Inns of Court in January 1920. We are now addressing women past and present involved in legal fields or with the law. This includes lawyers, judges, academics, researchers and writers.

Anyone can take part in this event. We hope both inexperienced and seasoned editors will join us in creating biographies and other articles about women in all fields of interest in various countries, as well as their achievements, writings, organizations, and awards. This virtual editathon allows enthusiasts from around the globe to participate in our initiative. You are of course also welcome to add articles on any other notable women who deserve to be covered, for example under our #1day1woman priority.

The main goals of the event are:

to encourage inexperienced editors and show them how they can contribute to Wikipedia by creating biographies of some of the world's most prominent women
to draw the attention of more experienced editors to the need for concerted action on a specific area
to support Wikipedia in combating the systemic bias against the coverage of women and women's works
to promote the new/improved articles and images through social media (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter)

What else?

Below, you'll see a section where you can list the articles you create this month, and another section where you can add the images you have uploaded to Commons.
This essay on creating women's biographies and our Ten Simple Rules might be helpful to newer editors.
If you tweet about any of the articles, or upload any of the images to Pinterest, please indicate you have done so next to the article name.

Thank you!
