Description
An account of the resource
The broad collection of "Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences" highlights those women who dared in the areas of the arts (visual and performing), the humanities (philosophy, law, history, literature, religion, languages, communication), and the social sciences ( anthropology, archaeology, sociology, economics, psychology, political science). It also includes female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Each of the fields represented started off as a male-dominated field. Although women have integrated all of these areas, they are still not representative in many such as religion, political science, law, economics, psychology, archaeology, history, and so on. This collection hopes to expand the readers' knowledge of women in these subjects and encourage their further study by women.

Reform (Social or Labor)
Description
An account of the resource
The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

Biographical Text
Hamer was an civil rights activist in Mississippi. After growing up in poverty and often going hungry as a child, she spent her life in service to issues of segregation and injustice in the south. Much of her work took place within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which was comprised mostly of African-American students engaging in acts of civil disobedience. In 1964, Hamer helped found the Mississippi Freedom of Democratic Party. A famous quote from Fannie Lou, made into her epitaph, is “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.”

Description
An account of the resource
The leadership and governance collection highlights those women who dared to lead or govern. These women may have led countries or industries. They may have governed organizations or companies. Because women have historically been excluded from positions of power, it is important to acknowledge those women who were able to achieve positions at the top. Although a glass ceiling still exists in most societies, these women give us hope that someday that ceiling will be destroyed and that top roles in a company, government, or institution will fairly represent the half of the population comprised of women.

Biographical Text
Born Amadine-Aurore-Lucile Dupin, she later changed her name to George Sand so she could have her newspaper articles and novels published. After she retired, she wrote a 20-volume bibliography expressing sexual freedom, equal rights for women, and urging an end to arranged marriages. A famous quote from George suggests her liberal views of romantic relationships, which caused some scandal in her own time, “Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.”

The women's rights collection showcases women who dared to fight for rights, civil or otherwise. Throughout world history, women have frequently been excluded from full citizenship; these women sought to make their society more equitable by fighting for civil, political, economic, legal, or social rights. The women in this collection remind us that often the fight for women's rights is a fight for civil rights. They inspire us to make a positive difference towards the goal of social equality.

Gloria Steinem is a familiar face of the women's rights movement. She is a prominent writer and political figure who is well-known for campaigning for women's liberation in the 1960s and 70s. As a young girl of working-class parents, Steinem noticed social injustices to women. As a Smith College graduate and budding journalist, Gloria encountered career setbacks due to her sex. Her editors wouldn't assign her serious stories. Determined to reveal sexism in the workplace, Gloria publicized sexual harassment. She later co-founded <em>Ms</em>. magazine, a publication dedicated to exposing sexism and gender inequality.

Biographical Text
Harriet Beecher Stowe was an author and noted abolitionist. One of her most influential works, <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em>, greatly increased knowledge of the horrors of slavery. The book went on to be the most popular novel of the 19th century. In all, she wrote over 20 books. After the end of slavery in the United States, Stowe campaigned for married women's rights arguing that married women should have ownership of their property (women's property became that of their husbands) and be able to engage in contracts. She noted the inherent unfairness that under the law a married woman had no legal existence.

Biographical Text
Bingen was a medieval abbess, mystic, composer, and author. Hildegard of Bingen began receiving visions at a young age, but kept quiet for fear of how those visions would be interpreted. As an adult, Hildegard became head of her monastic community at Bingen in present-day Germany and began writing music for her nuns to sing as prayer. She wrote a medical treatise for her community as well as recording her visions after receiving encouragement. She became an important cultural figure whose advice was sought after by the movers and shakers of her day. She has been called the Sibyl of the Rhine.

Leadership/Governance
Description
An account of the resource
The leadership and governance collection highlights those women who dared to lead or govern. These women may have led countries or industries. They may have governed organizations or companies. Because women have historically been excluded from positions of power, it is important to acknowledge those women who were able to achieve positions at the top. Although a glass ceiling still exists in most societies, these women give us hope that someday that ceiling will be destroyed and that top roles in a company, government, or institution will fairly represent the half of the population comprised of women.

Biographical Text
Hillary Clinton is one of the most powerful women of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. A life-long activist for women’s rights, Clinton served as a New York Senator, as well as Secretary of State under Barack Obama. Clinton’s biography is a story of one woman who challenged gender norms and social confines. <br /><br />As Secretary of State, foreign leaders lauded her diplomacy noting her ability to bring parties together. She helped normalize relations with Cuba, brought sanctions against Iran, and helped US foreign relations with China. During her time in the State Department, she fought for women's rights both at home and abroad.<br /><br />In 2016, the Democratic Party nominated her as their candidate for President of the United States of America. Although not the first woman to be nominated for President (that honor goes to <a href="http://womenwhodared.omeka.net/items/show/56">Victoria Woodhull</a> nominated by the Equal Rights Party in 1872), she was the first woman to secure a nomination for U.S. President by a major political party. Having debated very well, and with the Republican party divided over its candidate Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton was the favored candidate by most pollsters going into the election day. She received the majority of the popularity vote, but not enough electoral votes to win the presidency.<br /><br />After decades of service to the United States, Hillary Clinton is not currently serving in an official governmental capacity. She has one daughter, Chelsea and a husband, Bill (former US president).

Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences
Description
An account of the resource
The broad collection of "Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences" highlights those women who dared in the areas of the arts (visual and performing), the humanities (philosophy, law, history, literature, religion, languages, communication), and the social sciences ( anthropology, archaeology, sociology, economics, psychology, political science). It also includes female intellectuals who were excluded from formal methods of education, but who advanced our collective knowledge of the aforementioned fields. Each of the fields represented started off as a male-dominated field. Although women have integrated all of these areas, they are still not representative in many such as religion, political science, law, economics, psychology, archaeology, history, and so on. This collection hopes to expand the readers' knowledge of women in these subjects and encourage their further study by women.

Biographical Text
A Greek philosopher who was also the first woman to be well-documented in the field of mathematics. She was the head of the Platonist School in Alexandria, where she also taught philosophy and astronomy. Her beliefs encouraged logic and mathematical study in place of empirical inquiry, and strongly enforced the need for governing laws in society. She was eventually killed by a mob after she was accused of exacerbating a political conflict in Alexandria.

Women's Rights
Description
An account of the resource
The women's rights collection showcases women who dared to fight for rights, civil or otherwise. Throughout world history, women have frequently been excluded from full citizenship; these women sought to make their society more equitable by fighting for civil, political, economic, legal, or social rights. The women in this collection remind us that often the fight for women's rights is a fight for civil rights. They inspire us to make a positive difference towards the goal of social equality.

Occupation
Suffragist and women's rights activist
Biographical Text
Alice Paul was a suffragist who famously split from the state-by-state campaign of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association to form the National Woman's Party, which was dedicated to a constitutional amendment. The NWP picketed the White House and many women, including Paul, were arrested for obstructing traffic. Paul began a hunger strike while in prison to protest the conditions there. Their campaign kept the cause of suffrage in the news during World War I and contributed to the passage of the 19th amendment enfranchising women. Not satisfied with women's still inequitable status, Paul shifted her focus to the passage of an Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA called for the rights of U.S. citizens to not be denied or abridged on the basis of sex. Although ERA has been continuously discussed in Congress since 1924, to this day there is still no amendment to the U.S. Constitution protecting rights on account of sex. Paul was a well-educated women who took a B.A. in Biology, a M.A. in Sociology, a Ph.D. in Economics, and three law degrees (LL.B., LL. M., Doctorate in Civil Laws) from various colleges.
