Hi, I assume you are not done writing your wiki but would like to provide some suggestions. In another class I learned that educating women on birth control and contraception became a goal for many companies because it meant that they would have healthy full-time working women. It became an incentive for a company's CEO (mostly male at the time) to participate in the feminist movement because if less women got pregnant then they wouldn't have to pay for maternity leave, and wouldn't have a woman with many absences because she had to take care of a sick child or her family. In a Vox produced Netflix show called Explained there is an episode on the gender pay gap. It highlights how women get paid less because getting pregnant and having a child prevents them from growing as quickly in their career as a man, because they have other responsibilities that take away time they could have used gaining more work experience or climbing the corporate ladder. I think it would be interesting for you to highlight some of these points in your article.
