" The Research Library of the New York Public Library is one of the most important resource centers for Women's Studies in the United States. Every effort is made to collect a broad range of publications reflecting new trends and thought on feminist theory and scholarship. New York Public Library holdings document the progress of the women's movement in this country from its beginnings and include manuscript materials as well as books, pamphlets, newsletters and periodicals. Materials are available on many women instrumental to the early movement: Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, and Catherine Beecher, to name a few. Farsighted librarians sought to collect both primary and secondary sources relating to women long before the field became recognized as a scholarly pursuit. Within its collecting conspectus, the Library seeks to acquire materials that are diverse in nature, global in provenance and multicultural in content. Documentary evidence on women in the Library may be found in many forms: letters: diaries; books; periodicals; microform; government, legal, and organizational documents; artwork; music; pamphlets; maps; photographs; oral histories; postcards; videotapes; CD-ROMs; scrapbooks; patents; and more.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Gender and Women′s Studies by : Kathy Davis
Download or read book Handbook of Gender and Women′s Studies written by Kathy Davis. This book was released on 2006-04-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This breathtakingly broad, interdisciplinary reader demonstrates how widely feminist thinking has spread, how deeply it has shaken settled assumptions in the disciplines and how much new light it throws on contemporary controversies. - Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin-Madison "A timely intervention and highly engaged, thoughtful and scholarly analysis of the state of gender and women′s studies in the West by three eminent feminist scholars... Highly cognisant of the central issues that have fractured, blocked and enhanced western feminism." - Bev Skeggs, Goldsmiths "The comprehensiveness and the interdisciplinary range of themes are impressive, and they make the Handbook into a wonderful tool for teachers and students of women′s and gender studies." - Nina Lykke, Linkoeping University Gender and women′s studies is one of the most challenging fields within the social sciences - the dynamics of gender relations and the social and cultural implications of gender constructions offer a lively forum of debate. The Handbook of Gender and Women′s Studies presents a comprehensive and engaging review of the most recent developments within the field, including the study of masculinity, the feminist implications of postmodernism, the ′cultural turn′ and globalization. The authors review current research and offer critical analyses of women′s and gender studies in work, the welfare state, family, education, religion, violence and war and feminist global politics. Edited by three leading academics from Europe and the United States, and with 25 chapters written by scholars based throughout the world, the Handbook situates the most important debates in the field within a uniquely international and interdisciplinary context. The Handbook is a useful introduction to gender theory and an exciting starting-point for fresh debates.
