#OnThisDay, 15 Mar 1927, the inaugural women's boat race between Oxford and Cambridge takes place on the Isis.

In 2015, the women’s race was finally held on the same day, and over the same course, as the men’s race.

Short thread!

#OnThisDay, 3 Mar 1913, thousands of women marched through Washington DC in the Suffrage Parade. They are led by Inez Milholland, a lawyer on a white horse, with delegations from each state following.

The day before Ida B Wells and other Black suffragists were told they would be segregated, and had to march at the back. Wells said that she would march with Illinois or not at all.

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.

In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

The top return on search engines is a commercial site that's hijacked the day for non-political fluff. The UN day focusses on rights.

Due to death threats, she was advised to wear a bulletproof vest at the ceremony: she declined. "I certainly don't want to be one of the boys. I want to offer my peculiar gifts as a black woman... a sensitivity and an awareness that comes out of more than a passing acquaintance with oppression." #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #BlackHistoryMonth #Histodons

#OnThisDay, 10 Feb 1917, plant pathologist Johanna Westerdijk becomes the first woman appointed as a professor in the Netherlands when she joins Utrecht University.

Two of her PhD students, Bea Schwarz and then Christine Buisman, identified the fungus causing a disease in elm trees. They were building on Dina Spierenburg's work which had identified it as a new disease.

Hence it being called Dutch Elm disease.

And no, that isn't a typo. 2013. Twenty-thirteen. The law was pretty much ignored, but I can remember visiting Paris in 1993 and a group of us joking that we needed to carry a bicycle bell so we could wear trousers. 2/2

#OnThisDay, 31 Jan 2013, women in Paris are officially allowed to wear trousers. The 1799 law required women to ask police for permission to "dress as men", or risk being taken into custody. Amendments in 1892 and 1909 were made to allow women to wear trousers if they were holding horse reins or a bicycle handle. The law was widely ignored. Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France's minister of women's rights, lifted the ban as “incompatible with the principles of equality between women and men”. 1/2

#OnThisDay, 30 Jan 2007, the first all woman UN peacekeeping force arrived in Liberia from India. They provided 24-hour guard duty and conducted night patrols in the capital Monrovia. Thanks to Bluesky follower [at]louiseking.bsky.social for finding this one for us.

#OnThisDay, 30 Jan 1913, Ida B Wells forms the Alpha Suffrage Club in Chicago, Illinois, to give a voice to Black women who had been excluded by national suffrage organisations because of their race. In March 1913, the club headed to Washington DC to take part in the national Women’s Suffrage Procession. They were told to march at the back, in a segregated section, so as not to upset white southern women. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #AmericanHistory #Histodons 1/2

She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #WomenInSTEM #Histodons
