The Women's Section

One of 20 plaques from the "Pax Americana" series created for the D.B. Weldon Library at Western University. 
 
"In 2036, library administration designated this as a separate study area for women. Dedicated to nurturing our female learners, the space is designed to be safe and inclusive. The books in this section are specially curated, and many are abridged and/or revised. In the words of Mary Wollstonecraft, “If children are to be educated to understand the true principle of patriotism, their mother must be a patriot.”  This area is not to be confused with the Women’s Studies section, which has been relocated to the History section on the ninth floor. Access to that area is restricted. To apply for a permit, please email Clifford McCreery, current Dean of Women, at cmcreery@weldon.gov."
