CDL is pleased to announce that Women and Social Movements has been licensed systemwide. This new database of full text materials serves as a resource for students and scholars of U.S. history and U.S. women’s history. Organized around the history of women in social movements in the U.S., it contains the following:

59 document projects that interpret and present documents, most of which are not otherwise available online. Each document project poses an interpretive question and provides a collection of documents that address the question. Altogether these document projects provide more than 1,600 documents, 600 images, and over 600 links to other web sites.
20,000 pages of documents pertaining to Women and Social Movements. These materials have been selected by the Editors for their relevance.
A dictionary of social movements and organizations.
A chronology of U.S. Women’s History.
Teaching Tools with lesson ideas and document-based questions related to the document projects.

Women and Social Movements is a welcome addition to UC’s collection of resources from Alexander Street Press. It can be accessed at:
