The Steinem Sisters Collection is a feminist collection that explores the lives and achievements of women. Created to honor Gloria Steinem, the collection champions the historical, cultural, and political contribution of women. The collection strives to provide a welcoming space for women of all walks of life to share their truths. The types of materials we collect are “feminist materials” – which are materials that uphold women’s rights and interests in defining and promoting political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. This collection was possible due to a generous donation by The Steinem’s Sisters Collective.
Donate to the Steinem Sisters Collection Fund.
For more information about the Steinem Sisters Collection at Main Library, contact Collections Specialist Melissa Luthman or call 419.259.5311.
