REVIEWS


A niche primary source collection with unique documents highlighting significant and lesser-known women trailblazers that pays particular attention to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Several of the collections bring attention to marginalized voices, including those who were enslaved or imprisoned. It is a solid selection for institutions that support advanced research in the Humanities, History, Gender Studies, and other scholarly areas with a focus on women’s lived experiences.
― Library Journal Review by Gricel Dominguez, a Librarian at Florida International University
The release of historic nursing journals as part of the Gale Women's Studies collection is a fantastic development for researchers. With opportunities not only to browse the publications but also search by keyword, this resource has so much to offer to anyone researching women's history and social and political history more broadly. It is helpful to academic researchers and students alike, across a huge variety of possible research topics, including medical history and the history of women's professionalisation.
― Dr Anne Logan, Emeritus Reader in Social Science, University of Kent
