#OnThisDay, 22 May 2003, Annika Sörenstam teed off at Fort Worth’s Colonial golf club. She became the third woman to play a PGA Tour golf tournament, and the first for over 50 years. One male player withdrew from the contest in protest at her inclusion. Photo is from 2008 LPGA tour.

#OnThisDay, 20 May 2016, Tsai Ing-wen was sworn in as President of Taiwan. She is the first woman to hold the role, and was re-elected in 2020. In 2019 she had pushed through the legalisation of same-sex marriage, despite 67% of the country rejecting it in a referendum.

We do western Pacific posts at 2am GMT/BST so they just about are on the right date. Then we repost over breakfast. If you were wondering why some of our posts are so “early”
