Collection Highlights - Women's History Month

Our latest Collection Highlights are on display in the glass case in the library lobby. We are featuring highlights from our collection in honor of Women's History Month.

"Women's History Month honors and celebrates the struggles and achievements of American women throughout the history of the United States. American women have struggled throughout our history to gain rights not simply for themselves but for many other under represented and disenfranchised groups in America."
