DUNMORE, Pa. — March is Women\u2019s History Month and to commemorate it Penn State Scranton Library Operations Supervisor Mary Ann Joyce created a special display in the library celebrating women throughout history.<\/p>\n
The display features books such as \u201cBabe Didrikson Zaharias, The Making of a Champion,\u201d which is about one of the most famous women athletes in history.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was an All-American basketball player, an Olympic gold medalist in track and field, and a championship golfer,\u201d Joyce explained.<\/p>\n
Another featured book is \u201cThe Girls Who Stepped Out of Line,\u201d about women who changed the course of World War II and mostly went unnoticed and unrewarded. Other books on display are \u201cThe Personal Librarian\u201d and \u201cShe Said.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about her process in creating the display, which includes a beaded necklace and different women\u2019s hats of the past, Joyce said she first gathered books and movies that seemed interesting. She then separated them into groups such as “Women in Politics,” “Women Pushing the Boundaries” and “Women\u2019s Firsts.” She also ordered a game titled \u201cForty Famous Women\u201d and used different pieces from that such as black and white photo cards and different questions from the game.<\/p>\n
At the very top of the display are timelines of women throughout history which Joyce said she feels are fun to browse \u2014 she strongly encourages campus students and employees to do. The display will be ongoing through the end of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DUNMORE, Pa. — March is Women\u2019s History Month and to commemorate it Penn State Scranton Library Operations Supervisor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134855,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-134854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
