New Resource: ProQuest Collections

We have added the following new ProQuest collections:

The Gerritsen Collection of Aletta H. Jacobs

In the late 1800’s, Dutch physician Aletta Jacobs and her husband C.V. Gerritsen began collecting books, pamphlets and periodicals reflecting the evolution of a feminist consciousness and the movement for women’s rights. The Gerritsen Collection has since become the greatest single source for the study of women’s history in the world.
