Celebrate Women’s History Month with NYPL

This March, The New York Public Library celebrates women, past and present, who have been active in all forms of media and storytelling in honor of Women’s History Month. Check out book lists that highlight the contributions of women writers—plus look back on the women who helped build NYPL, including Roberta Saltzman, the former Assistant Chief of the Dorot Jewish Division who developed our collection of Jewish cookbooks into one of the largest in the world. Join us for a full lineup of author talks, book discussions, film screenings, and more. Don’t miss our month-long celebration!
