Summary/Abstract: The Caryatid Collective works in the style of art, science, and technology by writing Wikipedia articles about Polish women artists. Using online tools, the digital Witches of Wikipedia break patriarchal patterns and empower women by resisting the omission of women in art history and gender inequality in the online encyclopedia. They overcome the fear of exploring one’s own knowledge and make herstories visible. They support women’s proactive attitudes to increase the number of female editors on Wikipedia.
