Lois W.
Lois Wilson (née Burnham) (4 March 1891 – 5 October 1988〔Al-Anon Family Groups, ''Many Voices, One Journey'', 2011, p. 262〕), also known as Lois W., was the co-founder of Al-Anon, a support group for the friends and family of alcoholics. She was the wife of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) co-founder Bill W. They both were following their respective group's Tradition of anonymity until Bill's death in 1971 when ''The New York Times'' included his full name and identifying him as cofounder of AA as well as breaking Lois's anonymity.〔Al-Anon Family Groups. ''Many Voices, One Journey''. 2011. page 159. ISBN 978-0-9815017-7-2.〕 However, she continued to be known as Lois W. within Al-Anon until her death in 1988.
==Early life and education==
Lois was the first of six children born to Matilda Burnham (née Spelman) and Brooklyn Heights New York surgeon Clark Burnham.

She graduated from the Packer Collegiate Institute with a concentration in the fine arts. She had a talent for drawing, and later became an interior decorator. After graduation she worked for the YWCA and later taught at a school in Short Hills, New Jersey.〔Pace, Eric (October 6, 1988).
