Speculum Sophiae collection collects and preserves books by women and books about prominent and lesser-known women from every nation, culture, era and walk of life. The collection shall be global in scope. No region, religion, or social background shall be privileged over others.

It aims to celebrate women’s voices, achievements, histories, and ideas across languages, cultures, and generations.

We welcome donations from people around the world and seek to build a global, inclusive, and educational collection.

The collection is a non partisan, non commercial, non discriminatory institution.
