Introduction
Please join the YWCA Young Leaders Board on October 8, 2017 for our Wikipedia Editathon. We will be working to address the gender gap in the pages of Wikipedia by adding and improving pages about women who have made significant contributions in the fields of social justice, community organizing, and politics.
