What do Maxine Beneba Clarke, Fiona Wright and Stephanie Bishop have in common? They are three prizewinning Australian authors who do not have Wikipedia entries.
While anyone can create or edit a Wikipedia page, women remain under-represented in online references, a result of a culture that often disregards or undervalues their contributions. It is estimated that only 15% of the biography pages on Wikipedia are about women. Of this 15%, many don’t even contain relevant or reliable information.
