A word of caution!

Beware, the Excel Document I provided you with corresponds to my research notes and includes 335 names of women or twice as many as are featured in the triptych. You will find it a useful, quick preliminary reference as it contains basic biographical data on their lives and accomplishments. However, as tempting as it may be, that is not the list to choose from. For your selection of women to research, use the numbered lists that match the triptych's numbered outlines -- The list of names for Panel 1 can be found on the postcard. The lists for Panels 2 and 3 were emailed to you.

Ngozi: Jael Mbogo is not included in the final selection but let me suggest you consider the environmentalist Wangari Maathai instead. A Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2004, she is also from Kenya and involved with the United Nations.

Mary McLeod Bethune would be a good subtitute for Patricia Roberts Harris whose name does not appear in the final selection. She played a role as a consultant in the draft of the UN Charter.

This is the end of week one and every member of the team should make sure to post at least one woman they have decided to start their research with.
