Women's History Month

Women's History Month seeks to commemorate and encourage the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. During this month we seek to highlight the often overlooked contributions of women in history, especially in the United States. We also hope to acknowledge the power imbalances experienced by women of color and women who identify as LGBTQIA+.

In support of Women's History Month we have provided downloadable lists of books, movies, music, and online resources. Each list is carefully curated by our collection librarians to highlight own voice stories, stories of love, and stories starring important women throughout history. Learn more and view the lists.
