Explore and discover amazing women in education at Kent and beyond
March is Women’s History Month, a time to honour the achievements, contributions, and resilience of women throughout history. From ground-breaking pioneers to unsung heroes, their stories continue to shape our world. This year, we are celebrating Women’s History Month in the Templeman Library and excited to showcase a diverse collection of books, films, and resources that celebrate women’s voices, achievements, and legacies, with a special focus on education, recognising women who champion equality, diversity and inclusion.
Spotlight on Women’s History and Education
Education has been a powerful force in advancing gender equality and empowering women worldwide. Our collection highlights the stories of women who have broken barriers in education, advocated for equal access to learning, and shaped the future through knowledge. Whether you’re looking to explore biographies of educators, delve into books on feminist pedagogy, or learn about the role of education in women’s rights movements, our library has something for everyone.
Browse and borrow books and DVDs from our display in the Love to Read Collection space in the Library Café, or explore our resources list for students and staff. Co-curated by the Templeman Library, Student Services and Kent Union our resources list features books, articles, films and other resources celebrating women in education with publications from our female academics at Kent and a selection of girls and women pioneers in education from across the globe.
