March is National Women's History Month. Created by President Carter in 1980, Congress expanded National Women's History Week to a month in 1987. This year's theme is "Writing Women Back into History." The history of women often seems to be written in invisible ink. Even when recognized in their own times, women are often not included in history textbooks.
A display of books on the history of women--from ancient Egypt through modern times--can be viewed in the display case by the entrance to the Library Learning Resources (LLR) building through the end of the month.
