Famalao’an Guåhan: Women In Guam History is a 2019 publication highlighting the lives of 28 notable women who contributed to Guam's culture.[1][2] The book was the second printed publication from Guampedia, a non-profit associated with the University of Guam.[3][4]

The project "Women in Guam History" started when members of the Guam Humanities Council found that only a handful of the 94 profiles in its encyclopedia were of women.[5] In November 2012, Guampedia presented a poster exhibit called "Women in Guam History" at the Hall of Governors at the Latte of Freedom at Adelup Point.[5]

The 2019 publication was accompanied by a photo exhibit celebrating the 28 women at the Guam Congress Building in Hagåtña.[1][6]

Fo’na is the lone woman of mythology on the list, and is noted in the culture as the creator of the Chamorro people who are the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands. The sovereign state of Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States in the Micronesia subregion of the western Pacific Ocean.
