Dear All,
I have finally scrubbed up my biographical article about an amazing woman I
found working hard in a back room of history - enough to bring its subject
to the wider world (that is, onto Wikipedia). The article is timed to
appear later today on the front page of the English Wikipedia ("Did You
Know" section) to coincide with the first day of Ada Camp in Washington D.C.
I feel as if I am taking her by the hand and bringing her out into the room
where the party is now. My work about her is a drop in the ocean compared
with her work on behalf of women all over the world and only a small effort
compared with the work many of you do. Nevertheless, I would like to
introduce her to you because I think she would really have liked this list.
I admire her gumption and optimism. So may I present, the globe-trotting
and indefatigable, Jessie Ackermann (1857–1951)
