What makes a book “feminist”? For the answer to that question, visit the exhibition 50 Feminist Books That Changed Our Lives: Celebrating 50 Years of Women and Gender Studies at UD.

Graduates from the University of Delaware’s Class of 2023 who earned their degrees in women and gender studies reflect on 50 works from the last half century that have educated, inspired and changed the lives of individuals in classrooms and beyond. The exhibition commemorates the founding of UD’s Women’s Studies Interdisciplinary Program in 1973, which, 50 years later, is now flourishing as the Department of Women and Gender Studies.

The exhibition is on view September 5, 2023 - January 12, 2024, in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library. The Special Collections Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. The exhibition is also available online.
