The right to be educated is an important part of women's right. But access to education for women remains limited in some parts of the world. Almost two-thirds of the world's illiterate adults are women. To celebrate the rights of women to read and raise awareness of literacy injustice, I selected a photograph collection of women who are reading in the Havard digital collection. I investigated what they are reading, and sort them by the creation date of the photography.
