The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America documents the lives of women of the past and present for the future and furthers the Radcliffe Institute's commitment to women, gender, and society.[1]


With the finest collection of resources for research on the history of women in America, the library's holdings are strong in women's rights and feminism; health and sexuality; work and family life; education and the professions; and culinary history and etiquette. Open to the public, the library welcomes all researchers who wish to use the collections, view exhibits, and attend events.
