Women's Studies Bib:High School

["S. Peckham" <speckham@CREIGHTON.EDU>]

NOTE:  Michelle Butler asked for high school level books  on
Women's Studies issues for a class she is taking. I was asked
(when I was hired at an all girl's Catholic high school two
years ago) to begin creating a Women's Studies collection.
This is a bibliography of books purchased in the last two years
which I put together for Women's History month in March.
I thought some other librarians might be interested so I am sending it
to the list. (It was good practice for me this morning learning to
cut and paste files from microsoft to internet.)Sarah
