Wikipedia:Meetup/UK/ArtAndFeminism 2017/Hyde Park Book Club

About the event
In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female while only 15% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. As a result, content is skewed by the lack of female participation.
