Database Added: Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000
We are pleased to add Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000 as our newest database and our first from Alexander Street Press. As stated by the publisher, “this database brings together books, images, documents, scholarly essays, commentaries, and bibliographies that document the multiplicity of women’s activism in American public life. Thousands of pages of materials provide scholars and students with in-depth access to the published histories and records of women’s organizations throughout the United States. It also has documented projects on a broad range of topics of interest to today’s students, each including footnotes to introductory material, annotations of primary documents, a bibliography, and a list of related Web links. This database has a powerful full-text search engine that provides in-depth access to its content.” Link to it today! Search TOPCAT for the linked resource or our database pages.
The database should prove valuable to many disciplines and researchers. Let us know!
