Women\u2019s History Month is an annual celebration of women\u2019s contributions to American history and contemporary society, and a great time to familiarize yourself with women\u2019s stories, women authors, organizers, and media makers. This week, we\u2019re featuring feminist manifestos, old and new, available at Collins Library. Manifestos have been an historically important genre for feminist thinkers and activists to challenge the status quo of gender and sex, make declarations about identity and politics, and advocate for change in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
