Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies

This database provides access to digital collections of primary sources (photos, letters, diaries, artifacts, etc.) that document the history of women in the United States. These diverse collections range from Ancestral Pueblo pottery to interviews with women engineers from the 1970s.

This site, created by Danuta Bois, contains biographies of women who have contributed in various ways to society and culture: writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Both contemporary women and women in history are included, and not all are well known.

This collection contains manifestos, speeches, essays, and other materials documenting various aspects of the Women's Movement in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s
