Join Boulanger Initiative for a virtual Wikithon editing party! Whether you’re a seasoned editor or a first-timer, help expand and improve Wikipedia entries highlighting women’s achievements across history, culture, and the arts. Bring your curiosity, your keyboard, and your love for stories that deserve to be told. For the month of June (and in honor of BI staff Angel Azzarra's birthday), we will be celebrating composers who wrote operas! You don't want to miss out on learning about the amazing women who wrote for such a larger-than-life genre!

Expanding the collective understanding of the contributions and impact of gender-marginalized composers is integral to cultivating inclusivity and representation in music. Wikipedia is one of the most accessible platforms when it comes to raising awareness; however, many of the articles present overstate the family and relationships of gender-marginalized composers while severely understating their professional achievements.
