U. of Kentucky feminist group seeks grant for new library

Story here. Excerpt:

'As the university continues to diversify its field of studies for students, an organization hopes to assist with the addition of a new library on campus.

The UK Feminist Alliance is applying for a grant to create a gender studies library and resource center to be located in Student Center in the Center for Student Involvement.

The Feminist Alliance will be applying for a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women in the spring, but they do not currently have funding for this project.

The president of the UK Feminist Alliance, Virginia Conn, said the library will be a significant addition to UK because it shows the university is committed to diversity. Conn said women are making up more of the workforce than ever before.

“Any effort that helps raise awareness about feminism and dispels stereotypes and misinformation, is something that I applaud and encourage,” Cooper said. “I also hope folks will be generous with their donations to the Feminist Alliance.”'
