Abstract
I made the #100wikidays challenge about Women Writers. I began some articles (19) and translated anothers from other Wikipedias (81). The challenge helped to break the gender gap (increase the percentage of women's biographies), index some existing articles, and add new pictures to Commons. Many of the writers are from Galicia and wrote in galician languages, and other where from many other places, such as United States, Argentina, United Kingdom, Spain or Nicaragua. Some articles where related to the project Intercultur, developed by Wikimedia Spain about articles from the diferent languages of Iberian Peninsula.
Outcomes
This challenge will help other users to create new articles on a specific topic and break the gender gap
