and Women’s History Month. The Centre Gallery would like to exemplify the USF principles

USF Libraries: Celebrating Women’s History Month
We here at the USF Libraries aim to bring women to light this month, to increase the visibility of the many who have made diligent efforts to create momentous change – and in doing so, made our world a fairer and more equitable place. Be on the lookout for resources and a reading list to help expand your knowledge of women in history, and Special Collection spotlights including Women in the 19th Century, the Greco Midwife Records, and local Tampa Bay Women’s Clubs.
We encourage you to take time this month to read from our resources and/or write to a woman you admire. It’s not just about celebrating women’s historical triumphs, but paying tribute to the women in our lives now, who will no doubt go on to influence our future.
