Cambridge University Press is throwing the spotlight on female writers and researchers in honour of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, by making a collection of books and journal articles freely accessible online throughout March.
The collection celebrates the significant contributions of women in the fields of arts, humanities, social sciences and STEM, and includes works written about leading literary figures such as Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen and Emily Dickinson.
Mandy Hill, Managing Director for Academic Publishing at the Press, said, “We are delighted to be championing International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month in this way. We want to celebrate the achievements of some of the many brilliant women we have been privileged to work with, and to highlight work that explores the influential role of women in history, and tackles the issues faced by women around the world today. By doing so, I hope we can motivate others to follow in their footsteps and contribute to the breaking down of barriers and discrimination.”
