LGBTQ+ people (and queer women in particular) remain significantly under-represented. Many notable figures, activists, artists, and community organisers are missing entirely or only minimally documented. We can #ChooseToChallenge the paucity of stories currently shared on the open web and #InspireInclusion.Join us for a social and supportive Wikipedia editathon celebrating LGBT+ History Month, with a focus on queer women in Scotland, as part of the global Women in Red project.
