Johanna Westerdijk year (1917-2017)[edit]

In 1917, Johanna Westerdijk became the first female professor in the Netherlands. The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) has taken the 100th celebration of this significant event to call for improved coverage of female scientists on (Dutch) Wikipedia. Together with WMNL, they organised a writing event on 8 April to kick off this content drive.

This follows on an education assignment at Utrecht University in 2016, where students had to improve content related to Johanna Westerdijk and other female scientists.
