I wanted to take this opportunity to give a special thank you to the following list of reviewers who helped shape the recent Special Issue(s) on Women’s Health. This series of 21 articles (listed below) covered topics across reproductive health and sexual health (2020, Volume 32, Issues 1-2), gender and pain (2020, Volume 32, Issues 3-4), and cancer (2021, Volume 33, Issue 1).
The saying of “it takes a village” does not even exemplify the gratitude I have for the reviewers who gave of their time to evaluate the many submissions for consideration. Without their generous time and excellence in experience and feedback, the articles listed below would not be available to shape the work we do as feminist family therapists. My time as the Guest Editor for this Special issue under the mentorship of previous Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Joyce Baptist, informed my decision to accept the honor of serving as Editor-in-Chief beginning in January 2021. Thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you!
