“You don't master your fear.
You're not able to say, 'I'm not
going to be scared.' But what
you can do is say, 'OK, I'm very
very scared, but I have to do
this and this and this.'”
–Ingrid Betancourt,
Columbian politician held hostage
over 6 years by a guerilla group

This is the final edition of WOW2. After more than 8 years, I am leaving rediscovering the rest of Women’s History’s missing pages to a younger generation. To all you readers who have supported this massive project, my deepest and most heart-felt THANK YOU.
To my co-conspirators, especially libera nos, no thanks could ever be enough for all your enthusiasm and contributions which have made such a difference to this series!
And finally, I am so honored to have posted WOW2 under the banner of This Week in the War On Women. Sisterhood Forever!
THIS WEEK IN THE WAR ON WOMEN will post
shortly, so be sure to go there and catch up
on the latest dispatches from the frontlines.
