Difficulty: Hard - Challenge Yourself!
How-To:
In collaboration w/ Architexx and Parlour.
Help us celebrate Women’s History Month by writing at least one woman architect, designer or someone involved in the built environment into Wikipedia.
ArchiteXX would like to invite everyone you know to help write into Wikipedia women designers, architects and all those involved in the creation of our built environment during the month of March. We are continuing our global efforts in order to have the most diverse and wide ranging of women written in. Our WikiD guides to editing Wikipedia are here to help you.
Why it is important:
You can’t be what you can’t see. The lack of representation of architects who are women and people of color in Wikipedia further supports the creativity bias that views men being more creative than their female counterparts. Recognizing and documenting the accomplishments of women and people of color in architecture will transcend the glass ceiling for many who are not digital natives.
