Women's LibraryGeneral Info Established in 1926, the Women’s Library of London is a lasting monument to the history of the women of Britain, and serves as a repository for an extensive array of literature and other resources documenting the lives of women in Britain over the centuries. Whether you are a history buff, or particularly interested in research or women’s studies, you will find this library to be a significant fount of information on the subject. Located in the Whitechapel district, you may find this site a bit off the beaten path from the ordinary tourist spots, but for those interested in women’s history, this is one of those places that you need to see. You can lose yourself in the thousands of volumes covering topics from women’s suffrage, to women in politics and the workplace. There are also works of women’s literature and poetry, spanning the centuries, and a public reading room where you can peruse these works at your leisure in a peaceful and serene setting. Free guided tours are also available, as well as panel discussions, films, and other scheduled learning events that can help you discover more about the importance of women in both historic and present-day British society.
