PLATINUM AWARD WINNER, 2023 MODERN LIBRARY AWARDS

Women's Studies Archive is a Platinum Award winner of the 2023 Modern Library Awards. Winners are judged by librarians in the LibraryWorks database who are actual users of the entries.

“This database is phenomenal - there is so much content within it that cannot be found elsewhere. The user interface is extremely friendly, but the best thing about it is the ability to refine by author gender. And as usual, everyone at Gale goes above and beyond.” – MLA judge
