Women’s History Month Online Resources

The Greenwood Library has free access to three full-text collections of primary sources related to women’s studies from Alexander Street Press during the month of March. These may be accessed from on-campus locations through March 31:

  • British and Irish Women’s Letters and Diaries contain the personal writings, many of them previously unpublished, of women from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales from 1500 through the 1950s, including recently acquired items from the Imperial War Museum in London.
  • North American Women’s Letters and Diaries draws from more than 1,000 sources to document the views of women in the U.S. and Canada on personal experiences and historical events from colonial times to the 1950s.
  • Women and Social Movements in the U.S. examines perspectives on women’s social activism from colonial times to the present by combining primary documents and images with scholarly essays.

Other resources available on the Women’s Studies Databases page include three full-text databases: Contemporary Women’s Issues, Women Working 1870-1930, and the Women’s Studies Encyclopedia.
