Abstract
In late 2019, I was invited by Societies Journal to establish a Special Issue on a topic of my choosing. This alone is a fact worth noting and celebrating. According to Holman, Stuart-Fox, and Hauser, men in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) are twice as likely to be invited to submit journal articles [1]. I am not sure what the ratio is in the social sciences, nor for editorials as opposed to empirical work, but that someone might think my voice was worth carving space out for in the world, and that with that platform a light could be shed on a serious issue a woman of color thinks is worth considering, I would have good grounds to suspect is not the norm.
