Bridging the Gap: In Support of Female Librarianship
A Session by Loida Garcia-Febo , Emily Drabinski , Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz and Nichelle M. Hayes
About this Session
Despite the widespread number of women working in libraries today many of us, particularly women of color, regularly experience instances where our contributions and suggestions are undermined when at work. This event seeks to better understand the factors that contribute to undermining and undervaluing women in the library workplace and identifying strategies that can be used to make the library work place an environment where women’s contributions are valued.
