Psychology

Girlhood in America: An Encyclopedia
Ref HQ777 G5745 2001
This is a two volume set containing articles about issues relating to the lives of teenage girls in America. The articles were detailed and well written delving deeply into each topic rather then simply providing an overview. They also provide bibliographic listings at the end of each article. Each article generally provides historical information about the topic to allow it to be placed in context which seemed really helpful as well.

Female Psychology: An Annotated Psychoanalytic Bibliography

Database

Contemporary Women’s Issues
This database covers women’s issues from 1992 to current with the option for the article in full text. It covers a variety of disciplines and pulls from 190 different countries. When you search you can do a basic keyword or author search but can also search by topic (i.e. abortion, welfare, etc) or by geographic region (i.e. Afghanistan). It was really simple to use and offered a proliferation of good articles.

PsycINFO
This offers citations and abstracts from a comprehensive coverage from articles, books, book chapters, journals, dissertations, and other sources related to the field of psychology from 45 countries.
