Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/About us

'''Imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all knowledge related to women. That's what we're doing.'''

We invite you to take part whenever and however you wish. There is no requirement to participate in everything we do, or even to sign up. If the objective and scope of our project interest you, please join in the discussion on our talkpage or jump in and create articles. You might like to start by participating in March's online editathons in connection with March's Women's History Month either in English or the language of your choice. We also have a Role Models editathon focusing on the alumnae and teaching staff of women's colleges around the world. We welcome you.
