March is Women’s History Month and UConn Law Library is celebrating by highlighting some of its resources focusing on women and the law.
Women and the Law (Peggy), is a collection on HeinOnline that brings together more than 3,600 fully searchable books, biographies, and periodicals dedicated to the role of women in society and the law.
This collection provides a platform for users to research the progression of women’s roles and rights in society over the past 200 years. It also includes titles from Emory University Law School’s Feminism and Legal Theory Project which provide a platform to view the effect of law and culture on the female gender.
HeinOnline has created a LibGuide with more information on the collection.
And if you are wondering why the collection is also called Peggy, take a look at the collection’s homepage for the story!
