Description
Summary:According to the Foundation Bill, the purpose of the Library is 'to gather knowledge about the history of women, to present this information in an organised way to those who do research today and to preserve the written documents of today for future generations'.2 The Foundation Bill further states: 'Documentation of women's history is a source of empowerment for women, as women have had limited access to education, to public expression and publication. The Istanbul Women's Library and Archives is the depositary of women's voices in all their multiplicity and variety. [...] the Library's policies differ from the maledominated understanding of documents.
