Although there are already one or more Women in Astronomy groups, life in observatories has different challenges, very specific to the exceptional character of the job: traveling for several days/weeks to remote places, working a night with only male colleagues/peers. The objectives of this blog are to collect, inform and support women experiencing life in Astronomical Observatories. Several women astronomers from worldwide observatories have already accepted to share their experience and different WIO profiles are published.
