Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand

The Bibliotheque Marguerite Durand stands as the only public library in France dedicated entirely to the history of women and the feminist movement. It was founded in 1932 after the journalist and activist Marguerite Durand donated her massive personal collection to the City of Paris. This collection serves as a vital archive for researchers, housing over fifty thousand books, hundreds of feminist periodicals, and precious artifacts like original correspondence and historical posters.
