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 January 9  through 16.

The next WOW2 edition  will post on Saturday, January 22, 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.

will post shortly, so be sure to go there next, and catch up on the latest dispatches from the frontlines.

Many thanks to  libera nos,  intrepid  Assistant Editor of WOW2. Any remaining mistakes are either mine, or uncaught computer glitches in transferring the data from his emails to DK5. And special thanks to wow2lib,  WOW2’s Librarian Emeritus.

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.
