Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah
... that Dr Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah is the first woman from Togo to work as an archaeologist and that she has been awarded two PhDs? Source: "first female archaeologist from Togo" & "one of the only archaeologists in the region to defend two doctoral theses in archaeology" https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-0465-2_2361

Welcome to DYK! You're QPQ exempt. The article is new enough and long enough. The hook checks out and is in the article, but we try to avoid "first" hooks at DYK, so I'm going to challenge you to consider potential other options. Her time as the director of the electoral institute in Benin might fit the bill, as might the fact that she has defended two doctoral theses. Raymie (t • c) 04:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pointers @Raymie: - I hadn't realised that about DYK. I've put an ALT1 below here, which I hope is a bit better. (Lajmmoore (talk) 08:23, 9 July 2020 (UTC))
ALT1: ... that Dr Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah is a 'Human Living Treasure of Togo' due to her two PhDs, her archaeological research and her role as Minister of Culture of Togo from 2003-12?
- @Raymie: - my bad - I've just added it now - it's the Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology ref 1 in the list.
- @Lajmmoore: Unfortunately it doesn't justify the "why" sufficiently to be a hook. Let me suggest an ALT2, though please tell me if this is an accurate characterization of Monroe 2014: Raymie (t • c) 17:34, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah demonstrated that the earthworks at Notsé in Togo were used to define separate social spaces, not for defence?
