This Wikimedia event is a day of celebration which helps people learn about the achievements of women and religion, inspiring others and creating new role models for young and old alike. Did you know that just over 15% of the biographies on Wikipedia relate to notable women? The aim of our edit-a-thon is to add to and improve the coverage of individuals, events and resources related to women and religion.
