Women and their works on Wikipedia need to be made more visible and easier to access. Writing about women and their contributions to history is important. There is a well-documented gender gap on Wikipedia which results in less visibility for women in the real world. It's also important to provide users of Wikipedia multiple points of discovery for information. This involves ensuring that women are linked to their works and providing full citations on Wikipedia. Other projects, such as Wikidata, have other avenues for providing information discovery.
