Digital Library only

And here is another stash of documents that have been added to the Digital Library, mostly scanned at the request of artists developing the Nottingham Contemporary's new exhibition Still I Rise: Feminisms, Gender, Resistance. But as always, these are but a few of the countless documents in our collections covering these subjects, many publications have already been uploaded in the past and, much much more is still to be catalogued and scanned!
