Wikipedia Project

Did you know that as of May 2020, only 18.39% of English-language biographies on Wikipedia were about women? And that only one of New Hampshire's first 100 women lawyers has a Wikipedia article?

We've decided to work toward ameliorating this by adding and improving upon articles about historically notable New Hampshire women in New Hampshire's legal community.

If you are interesting in contributing to this project, please contact info@NHWBA.org.
