1949 (library)

1949 or 1949Books is a feminist library in Yopougon, a neighborhood of Abidjan. It was founded in 2020 by Edwige-Renée Dro during Women's History Month. The library is named 1949 because women in Ivory Coast had two important protests against colonialism that year. It focuses on collecting books by women from Africa and the black diaspora.
