Women on the Map

  • In February 2014, SPARK Movement, an organization that fights negative representations of girls in the media, released a report analyzing 4 years’ worth of Google doodles. The whimsical art that greets Google users most mornings often pays tribute to significant figures in world history, yet SPARK noticed just 17.5 percent of those honored between 2010 and 2014 were women. So they built an app called “Women on the Map,” released last month, that sends an alert to users’ phones any time they pass a place where women have made history.
