Boulanger Initiative May Wikithon

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. This month, we are working on composers whose articles are only a few sentences long, AKA "stubs!"

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.
