Revolutionaries and pioneers
I really began editing during 2016 when the Irish celebrations for the Easter Rising centenary were underway. I decided to add just a few of the women missing from the stories of Irish rebellions which led me to the women who made history by being the first.

They include:
 * The first women to be awarded degrees in Ireland or Great Britain
 * The first woman stockbroker anywhere in the world
 * A trailblazing Irish particle physicist
 * The first woman to get a degree in science in Ireland
 * A first female Fellow,
 * a first woman professor,
 * a photographer, broadcaster, geologist, traveller, pilot and Ireland's first female flight instructor

And that’s just the Irish people... They led me all over the world next...


 * There’s the Turkish composer, the South African human rights activist, the Arab museum director, the Nigerian short story and novel writer with an MBE, the playwright, actress, director and Yucatecan theater teacher, the Jamaican scientist and science fiction author.


 * One of the first three women in Japan to become a lawyer, the Indian zoologist and author, the Ethiopian photographer


 * The Chinese writer living in London, the Soviet - Ukrainian aeronautical engineer and university teacher of Armenian origin.


 * The first Colombian woman to earn an engineering degree in Colombia



Just a little about me
My name, given here, is pronounced Auntie Kate.

My goal is to make it so that when you look for people who do X you get a fair number of women in the list and not just men. This means improving the number of women who have articles on Wikipedia.

I have a particular interest in Irish women and have focused on revolutionaries, pioneers, engineers and writers but I will take on any woman I find interesting or notable, Irish or otherwise. Occasionally I will take a particular focus on people from specific areas or backgrounds which are not well covered. I am passionate about Irish and keeping the language alive. But that work is done behind the scenes for me, rather than on Vicipéid. It's around getting the schools involved, getting other editors with Irish to edit Vicipéid, improving visibility of Vicipéid and that kind of thing.

If you are interested in joining me, I work with Women in Red and am part of Wikimedia Community Ireland but I also have a bunch of links to how to guides on how to edit and pages of who to edit.

If you are new to Wikipedia I will help if I can, just ask. Click here to leave me a message.
