Women's History Month celebrates women's vital contributions to society, past and present.

To mark the occasion, we're making some of our latest cutting-edge scholarship around the topic freely available for the entire month of March.* Ranging from the fields of Architecture through Literary and Cultural Studies to Theology, this multilingual collection of publications explores a variety of issues from across the arts, humanities and social sciences. In addition, we've included a range of Conversations blog posts and digital events & recordings, several of which were produced especially for this occasion.

Happy browsing and Happy Women's History Month to all!

*Free access will be granted until April 10. Open access titles will remain accessible thereafter.
