Priscilla Abwao (1924-2009) was a Quaker educator and social worker, and the only Kenyan woman at the Lancaster House Conference in London in 1962: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priscilla_Abwao @wikiwomeninred #tenforKenya #Kenya #Quaker #Vihiga

Evelyn Napier Molony (1902-1952) organized the herbarium at the Coryndon Memorial Museum in Nairobi, when she was the botanist on staff from 1930 to 1934; some of her specimens of East African flowers are still used in longterm studies of environmental change and taxonomy. (No images, though she was also a botanical illustrator.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Napier_Molony #Wikipedia #TenforKenya #Kenya #Nairobi #Botany #Museum @glamwiki @wikiwomeninred

I started a few more short #Wikipedia articles for @WomeninRed's #tenforKenya editathon this month. First up, Wangari wa Nyatetu-Waigwa (1950-2024), taught women's studies, French, and Swahili at @weberstateu in Utah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangari_wa_Nyatetu-Waigwa #Kenya #Utah #swahili
