Where Women Made History—Frequently Asked Questions

Thanks so much for your interest in the Where Women Made History crowdsourcing campaign.

Is there a deadline for this campaign?

The campaign remained live through the end of 2020 and is now closed.

I submitted a place. When will it appear on the website?

If you submitted a place during 2020 and do not see it among the published entries, please email webwork@savingplaces.org for further assistance.

What happens when you reach 1,000 places?

Thanks to your contributions, we reached our initial goal of 1,000 places on Women's Equality Day, August 26, 2020. But we felt so inspired by the incredible places and stories you've illuminated that we kept entries open through the end of 2020. All told, we discovered 1,224 places connected to women's history!
