March 8 is an important date in the struggle of women for equal rights and against discrimination. From the libraries, we take advantage of this day to make visible the inequalities that still persist and we demand the recognition and value of everything that women contribute and have contributed, often invisibly, to history, culture and society.

As we think that equality begins in education, the Social Sciences Library has made this video that will make us think about how we have studied. In this library they are currently processing the collection of Ms. Carmen Alborch, the prestigious Valencian writer and politician, a reference of feminism in our country. We have compiled some of her books already processed and cataloged in the library in this photo board.

From the Humanities Library, throughout the month of March five female voices of the 21st century will be published on our Facebook and Instagram, five young women who have a lot to say with their poetry. And in the Map Library, they have published some links on women and cartography.

Education Library have compiled some didactic materials, links of interest and projects that are being carried out to work on co-education in the classrooms. Science Library has compiled a bibliography on women and science. Likewise, the ODS-BibliotequesUV group has prepared a specific thematic guide on International Women's Day that you can consult here.

As you will remember, the professors Maria Vidagañ and Amparo Alonso-Sanz carried out the project "Pes del Pensamiento" to the University libraries. In the project, the books on the different shelves were classified using a new criterion, based on the sex of the person writing the book. The result of this classification can be seen, in a very graphic way, in this video-summary.

In the Historical Library, the micro-exhibition Invisible Ink, on Valencian women printers, has been inaugurated with two main objectives: on the one hand, to give value and visibility to the role they have had in the development of the Valencian printing press and, on the other, to spread the heritage bibliographic that is conserved in the Historical Library of the University of Valencia.

With our actions we want to celebrate this day with the aim of spreading the cultural creations and expressions of women, making them visible and enhancing them. From here the librarians of the University of Valencia wish you a happy and vindictive Women's Day.
