Atla Annual 2019

Did you know that only 17% of the biographical subjects and 9% of the editors on Wikipedia are women? The 1,000 Women in Religion Project – a major initiative of the AAR/SBL Women’s Caucus – is working to raise up the under-recognized work of women in the world’s religious and wisdom traditions by adding 1,000 women in religion onto Wikipedia. This is a poster session will demonstrate this effort aimed at lifting up the work of women in religion in ways that reform the gender biases that shape our systems of knowledge production.
