7. When women don't contribute to
Wikipedia....
● Wikipedia lacks coverage of subjects that
women may have interest in (i.e. fashion,
history, literature, women's sport, healthcare,
education)
● Biographical coverage about women is
severely lacking
● Wikipedia's policies, projects and programs
are developed by a male majority
● Discussions about topics such as abortion,
pregnancy, and feminism are often
dominated by males
