From the Archives: A Women's History Month Reading List

From the Archives: Women's History Month Reading List Blog Header Image

For Women's History Month, we pulled together a cross section of recent articles published in our journals—most of which have been published in just last year. 

This year's list touches on a range of topics related to women's history, including literature, indigenous feminisms, women's athletics, and more. We explore the histories of groundbreaking women like Panmela Castro, Pauline Johnson/Tekahionwake, Harriet Boyd Hawes, and Delores Phillips. We look at current events impacting women faculty in academia and reproductive rights in the wake of the Dobbs decision. 

Featuring articles from a wide variety of Hopkins Press journals, including American Quarterly, Arizona Quarterly, ASAP/Journal, Book History, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Callaloo, Children's Literature, Classical World, ELH, Feminist Formations, German Studies Review, The Hopkins Review, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History, Journal of Women's History, Literature and Medicine, Lutheran Quarterly, The Review of Higher Education, Victorian Poetry, and Victorian Review, this is a reading list that might just keep you reading until next Women's History Month.
