on:This week we’ve been adding to our biographies and graphic novels. We’ve had a number of student requests to increase the choice of biographies and reflect the lives of women in other countries and cultures. As a result we ordered in a number of biographies of Chinese and black women:

Baroness Scotland of Asthal by Sue Adler
and other biographies of musicians and singers as well as a former Member of Parliament:

Nancy The Story of Lady Astor by Adrian Fort
The Shaking Woman, or, a History of My Nerves by Siri Hustvedt
