Synopsis
Volume I is from "Abbott, Edith and Grace" to "Firestone, Shulamith". A thorough and carefully prepared encyclopedia containing entries for 696 terms, personages, organizations, historical events, and contemporary issues pertaining to women in the US and Canada. Entries are arranged A-Z and encompass US Supreme Court cases and federal legislation; education; employment; feminist theory; health, sexuality, and reproductive rights; the role of women in literature, media, and the arts; marriage and the family; violence; politics and civil rights; race, ethnicity and religion; female athletic participation; and women's experience in American wars. Each entry begins with a summary of issues and significance. Articles of 1,250 words or more conclude with a bibliography; those of more than 2,500 words include annotations. Appendices include lists of institutions offering women's studies programs or degrees; important landmarks, monuments, and historical sites; museums and archives devoted to women's studies; selected organizations; and a chronology of relevant US Supreme Court decisions.
