Women in perspective: a guide for cross-cultural studies

Sue-Ellen Jacobs (Author)
A major reference covering literature on women, this bibliography is intended to stimulate the development of a thorough body of knowledge about women in specific cultures and culture areas. While there is a paucity of literature on women in many specific areas, the changing position of women in contemporary industrial societies has received considerable attention, so a lengthy section on sources dealing with various liberation efforts is included. The volume will be useful to anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, and anyone interested in the varieties of female roles and expression and the position of women in the heirarchies of social organization in diverse societies
