WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

When we Bullis volunteers think of the words "women" and "history," our first thoughts are of our own Nettie Bullis. In the coming weeks, you will see more of her outstanding history related on this blog.

However, we cannot let the month of March go out (whether like a lion or lamb) without calling attention to Women's History Month and some of the books in the collection about women who changed the course of history in both small and large ways. Here is a partial list. We invite you to stop by and take a look at some or all of them.
