Content is arranged into 8 key subject categories: Politics and Law, Religion and Belief, Education, Literature and Writings, Women at Home, Society and Culture, Empire, and Movements and Ideologies.

The Library was able to purchase History of Feminism thanks to generous donations made through the Campus Community Campaign.
