March is Women's History Month

President Barak Obama has issued a Presidential Proclamation celebrating the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day and recognizing March as Women's History Month. We in the Children's Room are celebrating by featuring our fine biographies of interesting and influential women, throughout history and the world.  Most recently received are two new biographies each of Amelia Earhart, Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift.

Further articles, photographs and sound files may be found at The Library of Congress's web page for Women's History Month.
