Janet Wilson James (December 23, 1918 – June 10, 1987) was an American historian, educator, and pioneer in the field of women's history. As a professor at Boston College, James played a significant role in the development of the Women's Studies program, later renamed the Women's and Gender Studies program, and mentored young women scholars. The annual Janet James Award at Boston College acknowledges her legacy by recognizing undergraduate students' academic achievements and personal commitment to women's and gender issues.[1]
