The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

Women in Red April 2025

Latest comment: 8 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Women in Red | April 2025, Vol 11, Issue 4, Nos. 326, 327, 335, 336

Online events:

New: Alphabet run G & H | Business
Continuing, year-long initiatives: #1day1woman | Music

Announcements (Events facilitated by others):

Tip of the month:

When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.
