Gender / Sexuality / Women's Studies: Books

This guide supports the curriculum and research in the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies at the undergraduate and graduate level. With any inter- or multidisciplinary, it is important to also consult the relevant discipline-specific guides.

Finding Books and Essays

Books, book chapters and essays in anthologies can be easily accessed through Omni.  Just limit your search results to "Books & eBooks".  It is clear that a single-authored book, on one theme, contains a depth and breadth of knowledge.  And articles are for very specific topics.  So, why would you want a collection of essays? Essay collections are curated and edited on a theme or subject and they are an intelligent and organized presentation of scholars, theories, ideas and topics that experts know to be related and mutually influential. Examining edited collections lets you peek into a virtual dining room conversation or debate and see who the special guests are in your subject area.  What's wrong with a little eaves-dropping?  Especially when the conversation is so interesting.
