As we celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we can acknowledge Hunter College as the first public, tuition-free college for women in America. Founded in 1870 by Thomas Hunter as a Normal College, its mission was to train teachers. Hunter College was known for high entry requirements; it did not exclude applicants based on race, religion, or ethnicity. Take a look at some of the digitized archival material available on the website.

March is Women's History Month, and Hunter College History IS Women's History. Here are a few notable Hunter Women, with links to a selection of books and ebooks available in the Hunter College Libraries:
