A Selected Bibliography of Books on Women in the Libraries of the State University of New York at Albany

This bibliography is limited to books, cataloged government documents, and whole or special issues of periodicals on women in the University Libraries of the State University of New York at Albany. The selection of items for inclusion in the bibliography has been as broad as possible except in the areas specified below. Books in the area of women's sports have been excluded except for those dealing with the formal physical education of women. These have been included in the education section. Technical books in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology have generally been excluded. Books on marriage and the family have been highly selected to include only those whose focal point is the relationship of women to marriage and the family. In general, biographies of individual women have been omitted. Only biographies of individual women important to women's movements or individual biographies giving insight into women in a particular condition or profession have been included. Literary works by women have been included only when they give a unique literary depiction of a particular type of woman. (Containes 1855 references.) (Author)
