Towson has a long history of educating Maryland's women, dating all the way back to our beginning as a Normal School for Teachers. We are proud to continue that tradition by supplying information by, about, and for women. This guide is only a place to start exploring. You can also check out our book display on the fourth floor of Cook Library. We hope you'll continue to stay engaged. Please reach out if you have any questions or things you'd like us to add.
Here are some titles we've recently acquired at Cook Library.
Essential primary sources documenting the changing representations and lived experiences of gender roles and relations from the nineteenth century to the present. This expansive collection offers sources for the study of women's suffrage, the feminist movement, the men’s movement, employment, education, the body, the family, and government and politics.
