Adora Sitvak writes about a new initiative at the Wikimedia Foundation to add women to our histories. “In particular,” she writes, “we are encouraging journalists, academics, thought leaders, and individuals and organizations in the information landscape to increase their coverage of women, particularly women who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) — building out the ecosystem of secondary literature that Wikipedians rely on to create and improve content.”
She cites board chair Angilee Shah’s writing about the erasure of women journalists.
