A lot of the stories provided by my fellow WOW participants this week were about sheroes: women who’ve done amazing things. Coincidentally, my Top Comments diary this week dealt with two books about women leaders in the fight against two of history’s greatest evils: slavery and the Holocaust.
175 years ago, the Seneca Falls Convention kicked off the movement for women’s suffrage. Many of the participants didn’t live to see the 19th Amendment ratified, but they never stopped fighting. May we have the same persistence in pursuit of equality.
Women scientists are re-examining animal behavior through a feminist lens.
15-year-old Rylee Brooke: No one is too young for climate activism.
