Happy International Women's Day!


This Saturday, March 8th, is International Women's Day, and during the whole month of
March we are celebrating National Women's History Month.



Fogelson Library has an excellent collection of works (authored, directed, designed, painted, etc.) by women. Our Southwest Collection is especially rich in local women artists, and all sorts of intriguing Southwestern characters.

Drawing from this, and other areas of the library, we have selected a sample of materials to share with you in celebration and in recognition.
