Advancing Through Growth and ChangeIn 2025, we celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) and the seventieth anniversary of the Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health (JMWH), as we publish the seventieth volume of JMWH.JMWH, the official journal of ACNM, began as the Nurse-Midwife Bulletin in 1955, then the Bulletin of the American College of Nurse-Midwifery in 1956, the Bulletin of the American College of Nurse-Midwives in 1969, when ACNM changed its name, and the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery in 1973. 1 Today, we celebrate the Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health, so named in 2000.The only midwifery journal in the United States, JMWH publishes research and other scholarly articles to support the profession and practice of midwifery.Our authors are primarily midwives and from the United States.However, increasingly midwife authors are from countries outside the United States.Authors also represent nurses, including advanced practice nurses, as well as physicians, social workers, public health professionals, dentists, psychologists, pharmacists, and others.Although maintaining a strong focus on midwifery research, practice, policy, and education in the United States, JMWH is truly an international and interprofessional journal.JMWH leadership participates in the International Academy of Nursing Editors and was pleased to be included in their inaugural group of 13 journals named to the Nursing Journal Hall of Fame for achieving at least 50 years of sustained excellence in publication.Two major changes occurred since the previous JMWH history update was published in 2015. 2 The first was a change to the cover of JMWH in 2019, the first since 1979.The purpose of the cover change was to better reflect the current profession, including our scope of practice as well as ACNM's commitment to inclusion and respect for diverse identities.3 The second change was a complete transition in the editorial leadership of JMWH. 4 December 2021 marked the retirement of then editor-in-chief Frances E. Likis, who was named Editor Emeritus by the ACNM Board of Directors.Deputy Editors Tekoa King and Patricia Aikins Murphy also retired from their positions in Fall 2021.Following a 4-month editorial transition, Melissa Avery became editor-in-chief of JMWH in January 2022.Ira Kantrowitz-Gordon, who had assumed a oneyear position as deputy editor in 2021, joined the new senior leadership team with Linda Hunter, who joined as deputy editor in Fall of 2021.The number of manuscripts submitted to JMWH continues to increase.The number of new manuscripts submitted in 2016 was 355, increasing to 627 in 2020 when many journals received more manuscripts during the COVID-19 pandemic.Remaining steady after the height of the pandemic, the number of submitted manuscripts has risen again, reaching 749 in 2024.This increase represents a doubling of submissions from
