Description: Although government documents are often ignored in bibliographies and indexes, the United States government has produced thousands of documents on or related to women, and these documents provide a rich resource for understanding the status of American women. Huls' two-volume bibliography provides easy subject access to some 7,000 documents on social and employment issues, spanning nearly two centuries. Entries covering the published reports of Congress, agencies, councils, and commissions are annotated and organized chronologically within topical chapters, thereby providing a chronological record of governmental investigations, actions, and policies on broad issues. Each volume includes a detailed subject index. Volume I covers general works and those focusing on such topics as the battle for equal rights--including suffrage, citizenship, and the Equal Rights Amendment, as well as health and wellness, birth control and abortion, maternity, child support, poverty programs, retirement income, and violence against women. The volume lists over 3,000 documents, including speeches, posters, and leaflets as well as more substantial agency reports and Congressional hearings or documents. Volume II covers issues relating to women in paid employment, including protective labor legislation, affirmative action, federal employment and training programs, vocational counseling, and day care. It also lists over 3,000 documents.
