Famalao’an Guåhan: Women In Guam History
In March 2019, in conjunction with National Women’s Month, Guampedia released its second printed publication, Famalao’an Guahan: Women in Guam History. This book highlights the lives of 28 women who were war survivors, community leaders, entrepreneurial pioneers, exceptional educators, and catalysts for change within the island. The tales of these aweinspiring women are forever immortalized within these pages. Special sections within the book include the historical roles of women, folktales, and a portion of the inaugural address of Guam’s
first female governor, Maga’haga Lourdes Leon Guerrero. We are happy to announce that we have just finished a second printing and have restocked this book on our online gift shop and in a few local stores. Proceeds from this book help fund further research and the creation of entries on the extraordinary lives of more women in Guam’s history. With the season of giving right around the corner, this book makes a perfect gift for any famagu’on, famalao’an or lalahi curious about our island’s dynamic history.
