Woman Astronomers Day

By Members of the CSWA and Editors of AASWomen

🌟 Today is Woman Astronomers Day! 🌟

🌟 We celebrate you, our readers, and your discoveries and achievements. 🌟

We also celebrate the dozens of people who have volunteered to support the Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy (CSWA) and its weekly newsletter, AASWomen.

Since 1979, over 100 people have been members of the CSWA and have worked to to recommend to the AAS Board of Trustees practical measures that can be taken to improve the status of women in astronomy and encourage their entry into this field. The CSWA's Resources page and External page have a plethora of information to help women advance in the field. Thank you to the past members of the CSWA for the volunteer work you have done for us. 

Current members of the CSWA. First column: Eric Hooper, Regina Jorgenson.
Second column: Alessandra Aloisi, Amber Stuver, Sukanya Chakrabarti.
Third column: Karly Pitman (Chair), Stella Kafka, Jessica Mink.
Fourth column: Hannah Jang-Condell (L), Jeremy Bailin (R), James Keane, Rayna Rampalli

Thanks also to departing CSWA member, Greg Rudnick, who was elected to the AAS Board of Trustees. Congratulations!

Since at least 1991, the weekly AASWomen newsletter has included tidbits of information of relevance to women in science and women in astronomy in particular, as well as job postings. Thank you to our past editors of AASWomen (more than two dozen!) for your volunteer work.
