UCD Library Collection Spotlight: International Women's Day 2019 - #BalanceforBetter
#BalanceforBetter
The theme for this year's International Women's Day, which is always on 8 March, is #BalanceforBetter, encouraging everyone to think about how we can create a better, more gender-balanced world.
We are highlighting books in our collection related to gender (in)equality, feminism, the workplace, education and other related titles. Feel free to browse and borrow from our Spotlight display shelves in the James Joyce Library throughout the month of March.
