Hi, This is a great idea :) We can try to have a female-related article in the first page of wikipedias. (I've just asked for fr-wikipedia).
You're lucky to have Women's History Month, in France we have "Women's Rights Day"', often translated in mass medias to "Woman's Day'" and, as women, we are always told the oh so funny joke "don't do the laundry today.... Leave it for tommorow". -_-" I'll try to involve feminist organizations in the Wikipedia edition, how writting women's history is a feminist act, etc. Anyone has the experience of dealing with teaching NPOV to polical organizations and if it ends well ?
