Our Year-Long Global Initiative for 2019:

Focus on Suffrage

Improve biographies on suffragists and suffragettes to Good Article Status



To celebrate the 100th anniversary of several major achievements in suffrage, Women in Green is encouraging improvements to articles on suffragettes. Interested editors are encouraged to improve any relevant articles on women who were suffragists or suffragettes. The list below has some suggestions, although it is just a small sample of relevant articles. If you find an article that looks like it is ready for Good Article nomination and you are not a major contributor, please leave a message on the talk page and give major editors an opportunity to nominate the article themselves. Once articles have been nominated for Good Article status, please add it to the achievement list here.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to discuss on the project talk page here.
