Welcome to another year of Women of Library History posts sponsored by the
ALA/SRRT Feminist Task Force!  We will have a post scheduled for every
other Wednesday. Our goal for 2019 is to keep posts going all year, rather
than only posting in March.

Submissions are still being accepted for 2019–please see our Call for
Submissions <http://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com/submit2019> for
details on the Tumblr site.
