The most commonly used databases for searching Women's Studies related articles are located on the right. However, there is a complete listing of databases focusing on Women's Studies that can be browsed and searched.
Because Women’s Studies is an interdisciplinary course of study, other subject areas within the interpretive social sciences, arts, and humanities such as anthropology, history, literature, and sociology may also have useful literature to offer. Guides for other subject areas and a list of librarians associated with these can be found on our Research by Subject page.
