Articles & Databases: Women's Studies - General
| These databases are a good place to start your research on most women’s studies and multicultural queer studies topics. There are additional recommendations for each of the areas of emphasis in the major; Women and the Environment; Women in Global/International Studies; Women's Expression in Art and Language; Women in Social and Community Service, and for the Multicultural Queer Studies Minor. Use these for more specialized research or if the general group doesn't give you enough information. |
