Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Participants

This is the page for listing participants in WikiProject Women's History. If you would like to participate in this project, please add your name (and optionally your areas of interest) at the bottom of the list preceded by #.

Note on real names: we've been asked whether it's required to disclose your full name here. It's not! All we need is your Wikipedia username. Disclosing your real name or using it as your Wikipedia username allows contributions to be more easily traced to an individual. This may make a contributor more vulnerable to issues such as harassment, both on and off Wikipedia. You should consider the benefits and drawbacks of making substantial contributions under your real name before doing so, especially if you plan on editing or discussing potentially controversial subjects in Wikipedia articles or on any of the associated project or talk pages. While it is possible to rename accounts, a record of the previous name will still exist.
