Selected Women's Studies Bibliographies Published in Periodicals 1989-1992

We regularly list book-length bibliographies in the “Reference/Bibliography” section of New Books on Women & Feminism, review many of them in the “New Reference Works in Women’s Studies” column in Feminist Collections, and compile the latest titles in “New Reference Works in Women’s Studies” bibliographies. There are also many useful, topical bibliographies that are published in journals. Part One below lists scholarly bibliographies that have appeared as articles in a wide range of periodicals devoted to women’s studies, library science, and other disciplines since 1989. Part Two covers recent articles listing “influential” or “classic” feminist books.
