The beginning of March means two things to us here at the University of Nebraska Press. One, it’s Nebraska’s birthday! Nebraska turned 142 years old yesterday, on March 1. Two, the beginning of March marks the beginning of Women’s History Month. Many of our best known, most acclaimed titles were written by women, about women, or, often, both.

We’re celebrating by offering a 25 percent discount these 16 titles. Sale titles include those written by famous Nebraska authors Willa Cather and Bess Streeter Aldrich, as well as about famous Nebraskans like Grace Abbott and former Lincoln Mayor Helen Boosalis.

Today also marks the arrival of another notable woman to Nebraska. This morning our new director, Donna Shear, began her new job at the press. Welcome Donna!
