8 March is International Women’s day. This is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, but to also recognize that change is still needed to advance the position of women. To mark this occasion, the University Library has compiled a short reading list honoring the advances of women, and shedding light on the change that still needs to happen.
