Suggested Topics
The following is a sampling of suggested articles to create or add upon. However, feel free to come up with your own ideas! In addition to the suggestions below, editors may consider cleaning up articles on more well-known women artists. Helpful updates could be as simple as: Making sure reference links are still appropriate and functional; Adding new inline citations/references; Adding a photo; Adding an infobox; Adding data to more fields in an existing infobox; Creating headings; Adding categories; etc. Editors may also choose to focus on women in design, performing arts, music, architecture, literature, philosophy, politics, etc.
 * Suggested Topics from Art+Feminism

Lists needing expansion and/or cleanup

 * Women Artists - needs copy editing
 * List of 20th-century women artists - needs expansion
 * Women in photography
 * Women Surrealists
 * List of women in the Heritage Floor - needs descriptions and other information; also needs splitting, as this list has become too cumbersome to edit
 * List of women artists in the Armory Show, 1913 -- expand images and information on individual women listed on the page
 * List of paintings by Frida Kahlo - needs more links per painting to the collection holders or online parties that can show the work

See Category:List-Class Women artists articles

Non-biographies to edit

 * Beaver Hall Group. Both the article about this group, the female equivalent of the Group of Seven (but it lasted longer and did more for exhibitions of the new art in Canada) and the artists in it, some of whom have no article at all: Lilias Torrance Newton, Anne Savage (artist), Nora Collyer, Emily Coonan, Mabel Lockerby, Mabel May, Kathleen Morris, Sarah Robertson, and Ethel Seath. (I've added them to the list of missing biographies or articles that need cleanup.) The article mentions a book & documentary, which don't have articles either, but would be good sources.
 * Feminist aesthetics
 * Lesbian Art Project (1977–79, Los Angeles)
 * n.paradoxa: international feminist art journal
 * LTTR - Feminist genderqueer art collective
 * Womanhouse
 * Women's Studio Workshop
 * Feminist art movement
 * Gynocentrism
 * Women artists who have won The Turner Prize (UK); Hugo Boss Prize; Guggenheim Fellows; Getty fellows; Kandinsky Prize (Russia); Käthe Kollwitz Prize (Germany)
