WOW2 is a thrice-monthly sister blog to This Week in the War on Women. This edition covers women and events from June 1 through June 11.
The next WOW2, for Mid-June, will post on Saturday, June 20.
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.
June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month
In 2000, President Bill Clinton proclaimed the first “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month,” to commemorate the uprising on June 28, 1969, at NYC’s Stonewall Inn that became the catalyst for the modern LGTBQ civil rights movement in America.
