Women and Social Movements
in the United States,1600-2000
Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000, remains the centerpiece of the work of the Center for the Historical Study of Women and Gender. One of the premier resources on the Worldwide Web for the teaching of U.S. Women's History, the website is now ten years old. It consists of more than 80 editorial projects with more than 2500 primary documents intended for use in high school and college classrooms. It also includes a major collection of links to related websites and an effective search engine that permits users to full-text searching of all the primary documents mounted on the site. In addition, its authors' database is fully integrated into its search capabilities. We publish new materials quarterly and if you are interested in preparing a document project, writing a book or website review, or preparing a teaching tool, please contact WASM co-editor, Tom Dublin.
In March 2007 we began co-publishing a greatly expanded version of the database with Alexander Street Press as WASM Scholar's Edition. In addition to document projects, full-text sources, and other resources, we are assembling a major online collection of the publications of federal, state, and local commissions on the status of women since 1963. We expect the collection eventually to include 88,000 pages of resources. In addition, in early 2009 we are integrating into the Scholar's Edition the five-volume biographical dictionary, Notable American Women (1971-2004). The Scholar's Edition is available at http://wass.alexanderstreet.com. For a free trial and information on how your library can subscribe to this resource, click here.
