- Suggested by: Fabrice Florin (WMF)
- Why I recommend it: Ada Lovelace wrote what is recognized as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. Because of this, she is often described as the world's first computer programmer. This article is factual and well-written; it features a woman that's an inspiration to many people, particularly in the technology community.

- Why I recommend it: Malala Yousafzai is the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She is known for human rights advocacy for education and for women in northwest Pakistan, where she faced abuse from the local Taliban. Her advocacy has since grown into an international movement. This article is informative, in-depth and well-researched; it's about an inspiring young woman that's shown exceptional courage and started an international movement.

- Why I recommend it: Hillary Clinton is an influential figure in American politics, having served as Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, First Lady -- and as a leading candidate for the U.S. presidency. She is an advocate of "smart power" that combines diplomacy with military power, and has encouraged empowerment of women everywhere. I found this article factual, fair and thorough.

- Why I recommend it: As the world re-urbanizes, we have Jane Jacobs to thank for the preservation of walkable, community-oriented urban planning (especially in the U.S.) Jacobs mobilized New York City against the urban planning policies of brutalist utilitarian Robert Moses, preserving the city's iconic neighborhoods. She had real flaws, but her work was undeniably prescient.

- Suggested by: Keilana
- Why I recommend it: She was the queen of cytogenetics, and discovered several important concepts that make everything about modern molecular genetics possible. And of course, she was ignored by the scientific establishment for years. (But it all ends well – she got the Nobel Prize!)

- To give you some idea, she discovered genetic recombination, crossing over and the purpose of telomeres and centromeres. Any reasonably advanced biology class will spend time on her discoveries. Hell, a high-school/GCSE biology class will at least cover some of them. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:02, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
- Suggested by: Mohsindalvi18031987
- Why I recommend it: Rosalind Franklin was instrumental in deciphering the structure of DNA, which today is the cornerstone of modern medicine. In 1952, whilst at King's College, London, she and Raymond Gosling obtained exceptionally clear diffraction pictures of DNA (see Photo 51) and also discovered that there were two forms of DNA. It is alleged that sexism, workplace conflict and her aversion towards reaching to premature conclusions robbed her from sharing (posthumously) the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for decoding the structure of DNA alongwith James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. In 1953, she joined Birkbeck College, London and by 1956, she and Donald Caspar decoded the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus, an RNA virus. Due to long exposure to X-rays, she developed ovarian tumors and died young at 37 years of age.
- Franklin was a chemist, X-ray crystallographer and experimenter par excellence, yet received no award or recognition in her lifetime. It is only recently that the scientific community has begun to notice and appreciate her work.

- Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 23:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC) – Rosalind Franklin did much of the hard work to reveal the helical structure of DNA through X-Ray diffraction images -- enabling Jim Watson and Francis Crick to win a Nobel prize, based in part on her work. Many think she should have received more recognition for her invaluable contributions towards solving the mystery of how life reproduces itself.
- Also, The Double Helix really screwed her over. Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:03, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

- Why I recommend it: Anita Sarkeesian is at the forefront of women's studies in popular culture. Her essays and video blogs have been used to teach university-level courses, amassed readers and viewers in the millions, and intend to create a renewed taste for originality and diversity in modern media. I think, although it is not a good or featured article (as I think it should be crafted into), it conveys that well.

- Why I recommend it: Australia's first female electrical engineer, "Mrs Mac" had a fantastically interesting and trailblazing life, pushing all along the way to give greater access to technical education for women. Two days before she died she declared, "...it is finished, and I have proved to them all that women can be as good as, or better than men." I wrote this article using free-licensed biographies and brought it to GA class. It is the highest quality Wikipedia biography of a woman from Sydney or New South Wales (all higher quality biographies of Australian women are of sports/music stars).
