For more than two decades, the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites (NCWHS) has worked to ensure that women’s lives and leadership are visible across our nation’s historic landscape. What began as a network of passionate volunteers has become a respected national voice for women’s history interpretation and preservation.

As we prepare for the upcoming holiday season and #GivingTuesday next week, it is a perfect chance to make a contribution—no matter the size—to help sustain NCWHS as we face a critical transition.

Wikipedia has a gender gap in biographies (more biographies are written for men versus women), but there is also a editor gender gap! More men edit Wikipedia than women. Check out our most recent YouTube video to learn more: https://youtu.be/xnUjoVD4ELU

The most recent presentation at the Research and Interpretation Committee was a brief overview of how to edit Wikipedia. RIC member Brandi Burns recently had the opportunity to learn how to edit Wikipedia through a collaboration of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) and Wiki Education. Through a free, eight-week training course, Wiki Education’s experts provided guidance and mentorship to bring more history doers into this important mission. Registrants worked alongside fellow practitioners to develop crucial skills in Wikipedia editing and research dissemination.

Why are women's history sites important? Why do we continue to advocate for centering women's stories? It's because there are STILL people that think women should remain at home. That women need to be taken out of politics. That the 19th Amendment needs to be repealed. It's at moments like these that I think of the Ruth Bader Ginsberg quote, "When there are nine." Keep fighting, folx.

To be clear on sharing this article, it is important to highlight there are individuals that still think like this; there are individuals using the same reasonings for disenfranchising women that were espoused a CENTURY ago. A rebuttal was sent to the editor highlighting the reasons why women are expressly needed in politics. And, to quote, "...all humans have a God-given right to self-determination."

The writer cites "the timeless truths of human nature" and calls for repeal of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the vote.
