Exploring Women's Contributions to Folklore: A Feminist Perspective
Folklore has always been an important part of human culture, reflecting the customs, beliefs, and traditions of different communities. However, throughout history, women's contributions to folklore have often been overlooked or ignored. In recent years, feminist scholars and activists have been working to bring greater attention to the role of women in folklore, including their contributions to folk traditions and their representation in folk tales and mythology.

Feminism and Folklore Project: The Feminism and Folklore project aims to address the gender gap in Wikipedia by creating or expanding articles on women's contributions to folklore around the world. The project, in collaboration with Wiki Loves Folklore, focuses on a range of topics related to folk culture, including folk festivals, dances, music, cuisine, arts, and mythology. The project also highlights the experiences of women and queer individuals in folklore, including folk artists, dancers, musicians, and game athletes.

Creating or Expanding Articles: To participate in the project, contributors are encouraged to create or expand articles related to feminism and folklore between February 1st and March 31st. The articles should be at least 3000 bytes or 300 words in length, and should not be poorly machine translated. Contributors are also advised to ensure that their articles do not violate copyright laws and meet the notability requirements of their respective local Wikipedia policies.

Feminism and Folklore Themes: Articles accepted for the project should relate to either folklore or feminism, or both. Contributors can explore a range of themes related to the intersection of feminism and folklore, including women's representation in folklore and myth, women's contributions to folk traditions, and the role of folklore in shaping gender roles and identities.

Importance of Proper References: To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the articles, contributors are advised to include proper references as per local Wikipedia policies. This not only helps to maintain the integrity of the project but also provides readers with access to additional information on the topic. Contributors are also advised to avoid creating orphaned articles, as they are less likely to be viewed and can be deleted by Wikipedia.

Conclusion: The Feminism and Folklore project is an important initiative that seeks to promote greater gender equity and representation in folklore. By creating or expanding articles on women's contributions to folk traditions around the world, contributors can help to raise awareness of the importance of women in shaping cultural identities and promoting social change.
