Tonight I stumbled across the article about the YWCA (Young Women's
Christian Association). Regardless of religious affiliation, many of us
are familiar with their services (I went to "chipmunk camp" at one as a
kid, and I take advantage of their sliding cost scale for exercising).

compare that to the article at the men's version: YMCA:

What the what. And look at how many languages the YMCA has been
translated into compared to the YWCA. A nice case study.
O_o
I just added to the WikiWomen's History Month to do list, but don't let
that stop you from working on it before March. Or adding historical
chapters and YWCA related people to the list, too![1]
