You ever stumble upon a Lady who was the Business but it seemed like no one had ever heard of her? Of course you have. I do all the time. There were and are so many people in the world doing innovative, interesting and important things, big and small, that there’s no way to keep up with even a teeny fraction of them. (I will never forgive my stupid puny human brain for not allowing me to know everything.) Women’s work in particular (be it artistic or political or what have you) seems to disproportionately fall through the cracks. That’s why when I find an awesome Lesser Known Lady, I want to make sure to pass her on to you fine people.
Ever since our lovely Headitor Stacey gave me the go-ahead to start this little Lesser Known Ladies project I have been accumulating a list of women to write about. For example, I always knew the first post would be about Jessie Fauset. But there have been surprises too. Thanks to just one fateful Friday morning I lost clicking around on Wikipedia, I accidentally came upon an article that gave me the names of three women that I just knew I had to talk about. Each certainly deserves her own article but I don’t think I can tell you about one without mentioning another.
