Description
In March, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Women's History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about women's history and personal experiences.
We’ll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we’ll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories @uwelibrary. If you find a book, it’s yours to keep.
This giveaway features Fix the System Not the Women by by Laura Bates.
Book bio:
"In her book, which is being widely dubbed as required reading, Laura Bates uses lived experiences and shocking evidence to expose the systemic issues at the heart of some of our key institutions: education, politics, media, policing, and the criminal justice system."
