On the eve of the International Women’s Day the National Library of Belarus offers a book exhibition "For you, Woman!” which runs from 3 March to 31 March (2nd floor, circular hall).
A Woman has been always regarded as a great gift of Nature, as a grantor of a new life. She was worshipped and idolized. “The Mother of the World. How many exceptionally touching and powerful have merged in this sacred concept of all centuries and people. Women, it will be you who weave and unwrap the banner of the world. You will build a fire at each hearth, the beautiful fire, creating and encouraging at once. A great and beautiful deed is bequeathed to you, women!”, – said Nicolay Rerikh.
One of the exhibition sections is dedicated to famous women in the world history from antiquity to present day. There are books about the outstanding women whose names became a legend: politicians, scientists, writers and artists.
