8 March is International Women’s day. This is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, but to also recognize that change is still needed to advance the position of women. To mark this occasion, the University Library has compiled a short reading list honoring the advances of women, and shedding light on the change that still needs to happen.
The Library has compiled a reading list in a virtual display which you can view online. The list contains titles that either celebrate accomplishments, highlight issues, or guide the way forward. Check out our online display for full descriptions, or look at the sneak preview below:
