Celebrate women's history this month by exploring and reading Hunter College Libraries' collections. Check out our display of recently acquired print books at the end of the Welcome Desk in front of the Cooperman Library's entrance on the third floor. We also have a collection of recently acquired e-books addressing women's history that you can read online.
If you would like to learn about searching for books like these on your own, you can get started by searching words like "women" and "history" in the subject fields of an advanced search in OneSearch. Then, on your results page, use the "resource type" filter for books. Limit to "currently on shelf" for available print books, or "full text online" for ebooks. Lastly, use the date filter for the last couple years to get to the new stuff. The results for print books would look something like what you see by following this link. Note that this includes books at Hunter locations like Zabar Art Library, Silberman Building Library, and Centro.

National Women's History Alliance has a page on this year's theme for Women's History Month: Women shaping a sustainable future. They also have a toolkit with ideas for incorporating women's history into the classroom and the community.
