User:Penny Richards/Century challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UPDATE: Completed challenge on 7 December 2023.

My plan is to try (during 2023) to start articles on women born in 100 consecutive years. Here's my progress so far. I mostly write about American women and I mostly don't do BLPs, so the most likely century will be roughly 1850s to 1950s.

Note: Birth years are sometimes uncertain. If someone's year of birth is unknown or unclear, I won't add them below. There will probably be multiple articles for many years, anyway.
