Amplify: Women in History
Amplify is a once a month series written by HerStry columnist, Joycelyn Ghansah. Each month Joycelyn explores one of the lives lesser known from women in history. It is our goal to bring these women’s stories and works to the forefront so that their stories are not forgotten.
Coming Soon:
A new movement series, from July to October 2022!
Amplify InBetween: First in Class
Welcome to Amplify InBetween, where you give you samples with a bit of herstory and a little bit of fun. In our final Amplify piece for 2021, we will look at the first Amplifiers in their class. These ladies were the first to fly, teach, create, disrupt, bring new perspectives and innovation, and inspire generations.
AMPLIFY: Patsy Mink
Traces of former US Representative Patsy Takemoto Mink are woven throughout our current political and social climate. From the Kavanaugh hearings, to human beings in cages on the US/Mexico border, to the US Women’s National Team winning the world cup, Mink’s policies and experiences are continually relevant.
AMPLIFY: Chien-Shiung Wu
Happy January, HerStry readers! I apologize for the lack of Amplify in December. One of my low-key resolutions is to not miss a single month of Amplify in 2019. There are so many stories to tell and no one wants an unreliable columnist.
