About This Database

 African Women's Bibliographic Database

This English language database contains over 22,000 citations from 1986 to current. The database indexes six types of materials: books and government documents; articles appearing in edited books; periodical and journal articles; Masters theses and Ph.D. dissertations as well as a few B.A. theses and honors papers; conference papers; and videocassettes.

This database is the outgrowth of a three volume work published in 1989 by Greenwood Press that indexed materials on African Women published during the International Women's Decade, 1975-1985.

The database indexes everything the compiler can find published in English about African women. If you know of any materials that are not in this index and deserve to be included you can contact Davis Bullwinkle at dabullwinkle@ualr.edu or at either 501 569-8521 or 501 666-9048.

• African Literature Association
• African Studies Association
• American Anthropological Association
• Cairo Demographic Centre
• Canadian Association of African Studies
• International AIDS Conference
