An Overview:
Women represent roughly half of the global population *, but are often not centered in political or economic discourse, or historically, in any field of academic study. Women's Studies aims to resolve this tension between representation and scholarly inquiry: this guide provides a brief overview of key areas of focus, bibliographic tools, and other ways to delve into gender(ed) aspects of our world. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your WGS librarian, who is happy to help you. * For an excellent breakdown of global demographics , check out Joni Seager's " The Women's Atlas " (2018).


Exploring Research Guides:
Other institutions may have useful research guides that can help to refine the various ways to approach your topic. Be advised that not all of the resources on a particular guide may be immediately available - consider using InterLibrary Loan to request print books, book chapters, journal and newspaper articles, and other content. (There is no need to pay for electronic articles online - we can always get you the content you need via InterLibrary Loan!

Exploring the WGS Literature:


Exploring the WGS Literature:Exploring the WGS Literature:Women's & Gender Studies (WGS) is a far-reaching, ambitiously comprehensive area of study. While there is no doubt that studying Women/Gender will lead to a revised consideration of the literal, visceral gender imbalances of the world, WGS also seeks to investigate the nature of reality itself - as previously shaped by male philosophers and thinkers. The area of feminist metaphysics , for example, intervenes in these traditional assertions, as well as feminist philosophy more broadly. The relevance here is that your study of Women/Gender may take you on journeys within and beyond the borders of the field. Feminist perspectives arise in every discipline, whether or not they are designated as such: and your search for articles must similarly be broad. Adding your topic and the phrase "feminist theory" is one simple way to start (in quotations, so that you search the full phrase and not just the words "feminist" and "theory" as unrelated keywords).

Women in the United States: Demographic Data In terms of data on women in the United States, there are innumerable ways to approach the topic – by time period, age, theme, location, and many other demographic indicators. Often, nonprofit groups analyze existing data for further distribution and interpretation: The Institute for Women’s Policy Research , for example, bases their reports on Census Bureau and government-funded surveys; Women’s Peace and Security Index is compiled by Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. Of course, the specific topic will help to guide your search; the CDC , Data.gov, and other governmental entities can be useful, as well as smaller studies. Questions about gender identity were almost entirely left out of demographics until recently; in 2015, the largest survey of data about transgender people was conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality.
