Expanding the collective understanding of the contributions and impact of gender-marginalized composers is integral to cultivating inclusivity and representation in music. Wikipedia is one of the most accessible platforms when it comes to raising awareness; however, many of the articles present overstate the family and relationships of gender-marginalized composers while severely understating their professional achievements.

BI's monthly Wikithons are designed to improve the coverage of gender-marginalized composers on Wikipedia by improving pages, updating language, and providing more extensive information surrounding the individuals and their music. All events include a brief tutorial, editing support, and everything you need to get started in making an impact! People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.

Coinciding with the launch of our Baroque curriculum for Music Inclusion Hub, this Wikithon aims to bring essential updates and enhancements to the Wikipedia pages of Baroque composers Isabella Leonarda, Isabelle de Charrière (Belle van Zuylen), Lady Mary Dering, Leonora Duarte, and Vittoria Aleotti.
