Journals and Indexes in Women's and Gender Studies
ELECTRONIC INDEXES:
- Women and Social Movements 1600 - 2000 - intended to serve as a resource for students and scholars of U.S. history and U.S. women's history. Organized around the history of women in social movements in the U.S. between 1700 and 2000, the website seeks to advance scholarly debates and understanding at the same time that it makes the insights of women's history accessible to teachers and students at universities, colleges, and high schools.
Because women's and gender studies is so interdisciplinary, any of the general and subject electronic indexes and databases may be used depending upon the topic. The listing here indicates only a small number of the possible indexes that may be used.
Selected General Indexes:
