This collection of resources highlights key contributions of women in the advocacy for reproductive rights and health. From Judy Norsigian's "Our Bodies, Ourselves" to Linda Gordon's examination of birth control history in America, and Barbara Sicherman's insights into literature's role in inspiring women, these texts explore the evolution and ongoing efforts in women's rights. This educational initiative, presented during Women’s History Month, underscores the importance of historical knowledge in addressing contemporary issues such as bullying and workplace violence against women.
