Celebrate International Women's Day - March 8

International Women's Day (IWD) grew out of the labor movement to become a recognized annual event by the United Nations.

Each year, the IWD creates a campaign to raise awareness, and this year the campaign is Embrace Equity (#EmbraceEquity).

The aim of the IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme is to get people talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

Equity means creating an inclusive world, and the University Libraries has over 600 books related to women and equity. Here we highlight a few. Please stop by and check out some of these recently published titles:
