WOW2 is a four-times-a-month sister blog to This Week in the War on Women. This edition covers trailblazing women and events from May 1 through May 8.
The next WOW2 edition will post
on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
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.
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.

Senator Elizabeth Warren spoke at a Pro-Choice
protest after Alioto’s draft opinion was leaked:
"I am angry. I am here because I am angry, and I am here because the United States Congress can change all of this. Angry, but committed … Understand this: I have seen the world where abortion is illegal, and we are not going back."
We all have to vote in every election like American women’s lives depend on it — because they do.
