One hundred and ten years and one week after the first International Women's Day (IWD) was held on February 28, 1909 in New York, we're celebrating IWD here at Jessup Library. Check out books that recognize the achievements of women worldwide. In
Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History, historian Laurel Ulrich tells the stories of women who weren't trying to make history, but did.
Herstory: Women who Changed the World by Ruth Ashby and Deborah Gore Ohrn explores the lives of 120 women whose achievements helped shape the world.
The Feminist Revolution: The Struggle for Women's Liberation by Bonnie J. Morris and D-M Withers examines the struggle of sisterhood in politics, civil rights, media and literature, the workplace, and other spaces. Be sure to browse our Women's History Month displays throughout the library as well!
