This partially annotated bibliography lists more than 8,600 English language books, periodical articles, reference works, and review essays concerning the status of women. The emphasis is on change, attempted change, and continuing problems confronting women in nearly 100 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada and the United States. Citations are arranged by continent, each continent being sub-divided in two ways: geographically (by country, state or province), and by subject (women's studies, feminist literary criticism, sexism in textbooks, affirmative action, athletic competition for girls and women, sexism in counseling, and the negative image of women in literature and media). Works listed come from a range of liberal arts, scientific, and social scientific disciplines. Author and subject indexes are provided. (Author/KR)
