Somehow…there was a complaint by a coworker to my Director.
My Director told me my coworker felt I was being #politically #liberal.
Imagine that. 🤗🤭

#OnThisDay, 17 Mar 1964, Joan Merriam Smith set off from Oakland airport in California in an attempt to fly solo around the world. She followed Amelia Earhart’s easterly route from 1937 as far as New Guinea where Earhart had vanished.
Merriam Smith arrived back in Oakland on 12 May 1964, the first pilot to successfully make a solo circumnavigation by the equatorial route.

La primera vez que supe de Inês Etienne Romeu fue por una película de Delphine Seyrig en la exposición sobre Les Insoumuses. Su historia es la de una mujer contra la dictadura, y merece ser conocida.

When German shells were falling on the 56th Evacuation Hospital at Anzio, Feb. 10, 1944, Army nurse 2nd Lt. Ellen G. Ainsworth helped move wounded soldiers to safety. On Feb. 12, 1944, the German military attacked again during which a piece of shrapnel pierced Ainsworth’s chest. Four days later, she died of her wounds. Ainsworth posthumously received the Silver Star for her actions. She is buried at Sicily-Rome American Cemetery, Italy. - American Battle Monuments Commission #WomensHistoryMonth

✊ LEADING. RESISTING. SURVIVING. THRIVING 💜
Women are on the frontlines of environmental and social justice—leading movements, defending land and water, and fighting for their communities. Yet, they are among the first to suffer the consequences of climate chaos, war, and economic injustice.
While we celebrate progress and call to accelerate action, we must recognise the struggle. Women’s leadership in the fight for a just and liveable world must be supported and protected.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.
#OnThisDay, 12 Mar 1994, the first 32 women are ordained as priests in the Church of England. Angela Berners-Wilson was the very first.

It’s #WomensDay2025 and #WomensHistoryMonth. In the last years, we introduced you to female and non-male #emdiplomats or to #emdiplomacy research by female* historians.
This year, we feel the need to #standUpForScience and #democracy. Both are under thread – most visibly in the US, but also in Europe, the recent elections in Austria and Germany clearly demonstrate this.
We as historians and academics are profoundly aware of the dangers fascisms represents for democracy and human rights as well as academic freedom. (1/5)

#OnThisDay, 7 Mar 1838, Jenny Lind makes her stage debut in Sweden. She became a global star, but no recordings seem to survive. A fictionalised version appears in The Greatest Show.

Today's book recommendation for Women's History Month is "Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist" by Judith Heumann (2020).
Born in 1947, Heumann contracted polio as a toddler, and used a wheelchair for most of her life. As a child, she was refused admittance to public school, because her wheelchair was deemed a "fire hazard". Her mother challenged this injustice, and fought for her daughter's right to equal educational opportunity. As a result, Heumann entered public high school in 1961.
While attending college, she began organizing rallies with other students, insisting on such accommodations as wheelchair ramps and the right to live in dorms.
In 1970, Heumann sued the New York City Board of Education for refusing her a teaching license because of her disability. The Board of Education settled the suit, and she became the first wheelchair user to teach in New York City.
Heumann went on to become a leader in the Disability Rights movement. She founded Disabled in Action, an organization focused on securing the protection of people with disabilities under civil rights laws. She led political protests and helped push for legislation for disability rights.
This book looks at the life and legacy of a woman who made a difference in the lives of so many people. It's especially important to recall her work now, when disabilily rights are again under threat.
