To recognize and highlight the invaluable but often undersung contributions of women, we have created a reading list of resources to explore and examine women’s diverse stories. Choose from books, articles, films and more which amplify the stories that have shaped our history, and foster deeper conversations about gender equality, empowerment, and the ongoing journey towards equality.

Women’s & Gender Studies Reading List

These reading lists were compiled by the library with help from faculty, the UNE Community, and the Strategic Initiative Priority IV steering committee. We welcome suggestions to keep these lists current and useful for both personal interest and classroom use.
