Women's History Month (March)

What began as a grassroots movement in the late 1970s to raise awareness of women’s history with, what was then, “Women’s History Week,” now enjoys month-long reflection with a collection of informative sites from the Library of Congress and other government agencies—including the US Census Bureau with its Facts for Features data column.

Should you wish to find research literature on any number of topics within women’s history and/or gender studies, do consider using the following campus library databases, accessible via the E-Resource Gateway (SubjectBrowse, Choose Category "Social Sciences", then Sub-Category "Women's Studies").

• Contemporary Women’s Issues

• GenderWatch

• Women’s Studies International

Additionally, the Women’s Studies Librarian’s Office supplies a rich listing of online resources and bibliographies.
