The Encyclopedia of Philippine Women. It is an online repository of articles on Philippine women — their life stories, achievements, struggles and contributions to society. This groundbreaking work is a tribute to the Filipino woman. It is her voice that tells who she is. Through the articles in this portal, the world gets to know that the Filipino woman is not just a mail-order bride, a domestic helper, nor a caregiver. Through this portal, the world discovers that a Filipino woman is a leader, a hero, an artist, a warrior, an achiever, a person.

WikiPilipinas invites every Filipino to contribute to this encyclopedia. Every mother, sister, daughter has a story to tell and a memory that must be written, shared and preserved. The Encyclopedia of Philippine Women is dedicated to Mrs. Esther A. Vibal, a champion of women's causes.
