Women and Books: From the Sixteenth Century to the Suffragettes view detail comment email this

This exhibition "examines women and the written word through the centuries. This ranges from 16th century material, such as early printed guidebooks on childbirth and manuscript collections of recipes, to later examples including material written by important members of the women's suffrage movement." The physical exhibition was held in 1971 and contained 138 items; this adapted online version, created in 2002, highlights and updates descriptions for 65 items. From the University of Glasgow (Scotland) Library.
