Product Description
Review
"A substantial and broad encyclopedia... Offering contemporary coverage of considerable terrain in feminist scholarship and activism... The theoretical entries are thoughtful and carefully crafted... A remarkably comprehensive four volume set that attempts to embrace almost every issue and topic of concern to feminists."
-"NWSA Journal, Vol. 14 No 2
"Can be of great use to everyone from high school students to professors. The only problem I had with the set is that it is very tempting to keep on reading other entries once you finished the one you wanted. I suggest you urge your library to order it soon."
-"News for Women in Psychology, Summer 2001
"Unique in its international, interdisciplinary focus....very well written with excellent up-to-date bibliographies and cross references... The topics addressed are very useful and provide an excellent starting place for undergraduate and graduate research. Recommended for academic libraries supporting researchand women's studies."
-"College & Research Libraries, September 2001
"Long awaited by scholars and students in women's studies and related disciplines, this set stands as a unique and indispensable multidisciplinary reference work... Since the editors and contributors admirably accomplish their goal of providing a resource suitable for scholars, professionals, and activists as well as for general readers, libraries large and small, academic and public, will find this incomparable encyclopedia an essential acquisition and an invaluable resource."
-"Choice, July 2001
"Provides a thoughtful introduction to relevant issues, as well as being challenging and thought provoking. The intent of this set is scholarly...Cheris Kramarae and Dale Spender have successfully geared this work so it will have appeal to upper level high school students and the general reader. This encyclopedia is a strong buy for academic libraries supporting women's studies programs and aworthy purchase for larger public libraries."
