Dear All,
I am currently writing my masters dissertation (in
information studies) with a working title 'Is there a need
for library services specifically for women in contemporary
Britain?' and am having a struggle to find historical
materials.
Can anyone help? I am trying to look at the areas of :-
i. of access (reading rooms for women, etc.),
ii. the provision of a child friendly environment (both by
the provision of a childrens section, but also very
importantly libraries which provide a play area, welcome
breast feeding, etc.
iii. the introduction of events in libraries for women and
by women.
I would be grateful if anyone could help, or suggest some
sources I may try!!
The information I am finding so far, is limited, but one
has to say fascinating reading!!!
So if anyone could help I would be very happy!!!!!
Pamela
