Women have made significant contributions to the world’s history that often go unnoticed. In honor of Women’s History Month, Assistant Librarian Barbara Lewis has curated a guide of online items in the USF Libraries catalog.

The Women’s History Bibliography provides a list of books and videos about the contributions women have made in specific fields, eras, and countries.

Learn about The Hello Girls: America’s first women soldiers, Florida Women Who Shaped History, Ladies For Liberty: Women Who Made a Difference in American History, and so so many more.

Women’s Biographies

The Women’s Biographies is not a list of famous women. Rather, it is an attempt to introduce you to many women whose names you may not recognize and their legacies.

Learn about Sophie Germain: Revolutionary mathematician, Madame Wu Chien-Shiung: The first lady of physics research, The female king of colonial Nigeria, Ahebi Ugbabe, and many more.
