Guide to Women's Studies  

GenderWatch (enlarging the scope of Women 'R') is a full-text collection of international journals, magazines, newsletters, regional publications, special reports and conference proceedings devoted to women's and gender issues. The database provides coverage of the subjects that are uniquely central to women's daily lives, including family, birth control, domestic abuse, work and the workplace, sexual harassment, aging, body image, eating disorders and social and societal roles. It also includes content on the impact of gender and gender roles on areas such as: popular culture and media, business and work, research and scholarship, family, health care and medicine, policy and legislation, pornography, religion, sexuality and sexology, sports and leisure.

This interdisciplinary database covers women's issues worldwide and indexes the core literature of the field with links to full text. Women's Studies International is an interdisciplinary database combined from Women Studies Abstracts (1972-present), Women's Studies Database (1972-present), New Books on Women and Feminism (1987-present), Women of Color and Southern Women (1975-1995), The History of Women and Science, Health, and Technology: A Bibliographic Guide to the Professions and Disciplines (1970-1995), Women's Health and Development: An Annotated Bibliography (1995), Women, Race, and Ethnicity: A Bibliography (1970-1990), WAVE: Women's Audiovisuals in English: A Guide to Nonprint Resources in Women's Studies (1985-1990), and POPLINE Subset on Women (1964-present). NISC will add new databases as they become available.

This database brings together books, images, documents, scholarly essays, commentaries, and bibliographies that document women's organizations and the multiplicity of women's activism in American public life. It also provides access to documented projects 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.
