Welcome to WOW2 — Early February !
WOW2 is a twice-monthly sister blog to This Week in the War on Women. This edition covers women and events from February 1 through February 15.
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.
This is an on-going, evolving project. So many women have been added to the lists over the past three years that even changing the posts from monthly to twice a month, the pages keep getting longer and more unwieldy – an astonishing and wonderful problem to have!
February is Black History Month, and we have a number of phenomenal African American women with birthdays and major milestones this month, from Azie Taylor Morton, born February 1, to Angella D. Ferguson, born on February 15

Otherwise, what you’re seeing on this Early February 2019 page are only the NEW people and events, or additional information, found since last year.
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.
