- Draft:MariNaomi - update draft to increase notability claim, maybe get it ready to publish
- Brinda Somaya - improve style and citations
- Eliza A. Pittsinger - American poet; lots of legwork has been done on research, it just needs to be incorporated into the article:
- Ermengarde of Anjou (d. 1146) -- use "further reading" section to add content. (then cite the source, and remove from "further reading" when the citation is in place)
- Dr. Livingstone's article is in the EJC: https://journals.ohiolink.edu/pg_200?::NO:200:P200_ARTICLEID:350358011

- Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 - expand. use more from sources, and:
- Elizabeth Duncan Koontz - African american leader in education, civil rights, and the women's movement -- expand.
- Jean Rhys - 20th century Caribbean novelist
- The Madwoman in the Attic - (book)
- Matilda effect - "bias against acknowledging the achievements of woman scientists, whose work is often attributed to their male colleagues"
- Gathering hypothesis - "the antithesis of "hunting hypothesis", suggesting that gathering rather than hunting was the main factor in the emergence of anatomically modern humans."
- needs cleanup, citations, etc.
