Welcome to WOW2 — PART A !!
WOW2 used to a monthly sister blog to This Week in the War on Women, but it’s grown so much that now it’s a twice-monthly blog, splitting the month in half. These are the women and events from October 1 to October 16.
The purpose of WOW2 is to learn about and honor women of achievement, including many who’ve been ignored or marginalized in most of the history books, and to mark moments in women’s history. It also serves as a reference archive of women’s history. There are so many more phenomenal women than I ever dreamed of finding, and all too often their stories are almost unknown, even to feminists and scholars.
Incredibly, this is my third year of work on WOW2, and every week I’m still discovering more stories of outstanding women. These trailblazers have a lot to teach us about persistence in the face of overwhelming odds. I hope you will find reclaiming our past as much of an inspiration as I do.
