Super dossier "#Femmes (in)visibles dans les #archives" dans le dernier numéro d'Archivistes. Avec une petite contribution personnelle : "Intégrer le genre dans les données"
In the summer of 1947, a woman walked into a drug store in Memphis, Tennessee, to drop off film to be developed when she realized she had one exposure left.
She noticed a young boy outside the drugstore and asked him to pose with his bicycle so she could finish the roll and turn it in.
@globalmuseum Is her name known? If you have a year, it should be. Would be fine to know #HerStory! Normally you get it at the source of the photo.
I have the same problem like @riley ... the way his fingers are prolonged after the artifacts. Also the hand of the smoking man looks weird.
Nowadays, it's very important to check and note the sources! (There's so much AI generated #disinformation in Social Media.)
Wir haben den 8. März - der Internationale #Frauentag
Es ist also an der Zeit, die Miss Jones des Jahres bekannt zu geben. Es ist eine Frau aus der #Geschichte, die Spuren hinterließ. Iyoba Idia änderte den Lauf der Geschichte im Königreich #Benin. Sie wurde nicht zuletzt deswegen als Bronzekopf verewigt. Dieses Jahr möchte ich also eine spannende #Frauenbiografie aus #Afrika erzählen:
Sojourner Truth (1797-1883)
👉🏿 African-American abolitionist & activist

#OnThisDay, 25 Jan 1943, Jacqueline Nearne parachutes into occupied France. She operates as as a courier for the Special Operations Executive for fifteen months before being withdrawn from the field. The SOE worked with the French Resistance to sabotage the occupying Nazi forces.
#OnThisDay, 25 Jan 1890, American journalist Nellie Bly arrives back in New York to huge crowds, becoming the first person to circumnavigate the world in under 80 days (she took 72).
Bly was the pen name of Elizabeth Jane Cochran, one of the most famous 'stunt' reporters of the time. She'd previously had herself committed to an insane asylum for working class women in order to report on how women were being treated.
Jeanne Bohec - 1919-2010 - Résistante française (bretonne née à Plestin-les-Grèves), saboteuse des Forces Françaises Libres, corps des Volontaires, dite "la plastiqueuse à bicyclette", puis professeure de mathématiques. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Bohec
What happened to Brittany Watts never should have happened in the first place. Now we need to make sure it never happens again -- nobody should be criminalized for how their pregnancy ends. We have multiple ways for you to take action right now. https://indivisible.org/resource/demand-justice-brittany-watts
Die genetische Vielfalt der modernen europäischen Bevölkerung wurde durch drei große Wanderungsbewegungen geprägt: die Ankunft von Jägern und Sammlern vor ca. 45.000 Jahren, die Ausbreitung von Bauern aus dem Nahen Osten vor ca. 11.000 Jahren und die Ankunft von Hirten aus der Pontischen Steppe vor ca. 5.000 Jahren.
“When the Supreme Court overturned Roe…, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion.” From a good column on the law at issue in a case the Supreme Court today decided to hear, to decide whether state total abortion bans conflict with federal law requiring emergency care. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/01/supreme-court-abortion-case-texas-dobbs.html#LawFedi
Just weeks after Kate Cox was denied abortion care in Texas, the 5th Circuit Court ruling now allows emergency rooms to deny women abortion care, even when their lives are at stake.
My Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues and I are fighting back against this cruelty.
