Female Gazes
The following list was generated from the print book "Female Gazes: Seventy-Five Women Artists," which had a list of women artists. One goal in the edit-a-thon was to check how many of these 75 had articles in Wikipedia, and what state they were in.

The method used for generating this from the printed book index might be useful for others to know about, utilizing a feature of Google Docs that does optical character recognition on PDF files:
 * 1) Take photos of the printed page with the list (index or table of contents) using a fairly high resolution camera (8 megapixesl), such as with your cell phone
 * 2) Make a PDF file
 * 3) On computer: Turn the JPG files into a raster PDF file (On Mac, use the Preview app). There are also sources online.
 * 4) On mobile: There are apps that can create PDFs directly from your mobile phone camera, such as Genius Scan or Scanner Pro.
 * 5) Upload the PDF file to a Google Drive account
 * 6) In Google Drive, right click on the PDF file, and choose "Open in Google Docs..."
 * 7) Google Docs will do optical character recognition on the raster file, converting it into text
 * 8) Clean up text as necessary
 * 9) Use Google Spreadsheets or some other method to convert "Smith, Jane" into Jane Smtih style wiki markup.

The 75 women artists pages generated from this method. The following list contains the artist pages that are incomplete:
 * Grace Channer
 * June Clark
 * Françoise Duparc
 * Janice Gurney
 * Barbara Hepworth
 * Nicole Jolicoeur
 * Maryon Kantaroff
 * Barbara Klunder
 * Liz Magor
 * Marisol
 * Doris McCarthy
 * Helen McNicoll
 * Midi Onodera
 * Evelyn Roth
 * Jana Sterbak
 * Aiko Suzuki
 * Anne Whitney
 * Shirley Wiitasalo
