About this resource list
March 8 is International Women's Day, a day to both celebrate the accomplishments made by women worldwide, and recognize that gender equality has yet to be achieved.
This list features works that celebrate the ideas, successes, creativity, and stories of women. These resources – and more – are available at the Camosun library.
If you have suggestions for resources that are not yet part of our collection, please let us know by emailing your ideas to library@camosun.ca.
