Now Collecting Materials for The Student Life Collection!



Women’s History Month


          Women’s History Month, occurring annually throughout March, is dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of women to historical events and present-day society. Women’s History Month originated from the very first International Women’s Day in 1911, which is now celebrated on March 8.

          Dr. Ángela Vergara from the History Department curated a collection of books to display for Women’s History Month. The books in this collection focus on women’s lives as immigrants and explore topics such as women’s agency, gender liberation, assimilation, and the navigation of foreign social, cultural, and political spaces. The Special Collections and Archives Department and Student Assistant Nancy Escalante helped to assemble this display with books courtesy of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library.

Come see the display in Library-South on the 2nd Floor. For more information about Women's History Month go here.
