Thanks Jonathan, Roger and David (and anyone else who has responded on
this, apologies if I've forgotten you!) Womanthology have been in touch
with the office again today and I am going to be responding to some of
their questions from an organisational perspective - however I'm sure input
from volunteers and/or residents (of either gender!) would be very welcome
:) All best, Lucy

I was one of the helpers at Alice's women in red
event at Imperial last
week. I'll drop her a note. I'm sure she and I suspect the lady from
Imperial would be happy to talk to Womanthology.

I think this would be a good opportunity for one of Wikimedia UK's female
volunteers to talk about their work.

Hi David,
I started Women in Red which moved the needle from 14% to 17.49%. She can
see the twitter page at #wikiwomeninred and there is a women in red
Wikipedia page. We can also talk about the work we hsave done with United
Nations, Unesco, cambridge uni, wikimedia uk, ng, fr, ca, etc and the BBC.
Happy for you to give her my details.
regards
Roger

Got a call on Friday from Fiona Tatton from
Womanthology. She was
interested in talking to someone who's worked on improving
representation of women in Wikipedia, and editing Wikipedia.
Coverage is basically talking to individuals about what they do.
I'm pretty sure this'll be a positive for our work ...
Best method: look at the site, if you'd like to be there then go to
the contact form.
(She left a phone message with Lucy, but I said I'd forward something
here too.)

Great speaking to you just now. Thank you for your time. As
discussed, I work on Womanthology, a digital magazine that champions
positive female role models and challenges the stereotypes of what it
means to be a ‘successful’ woman today. Please have a look:
www.womanthology.co.uk
I’m working on a Women of History issue - I’m interested in
representation of historical female figures and the way editathons are
being used to highlight the achievements of women who have been
previously overlooked.
