In recognition of the continuing importance of women's contributions to the Veterans Administration mission, and in response to a growing interest in the subject on the part of both men and women, this brief reading list has been designed as a general introduction to the concerns of women, their work and their place in society. The list was compiled by theCentral Office Library staff of the Veterans Administration in conjunction with the Federal Women's Program Coordinator. The majority of these books were copyrighted after 1970, but several of an older imprint date are included because of their in-depth treatment of a special topic or because of their historical value.
