We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Multimedia
Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World, a new print and electronic
reference that will look at women today around the world and delve
into the contexts of being female in the 21st century. Thus the scope
of the encyclopedia will focus on women’s status starting in approximately
2000 and look forward. The work will present state-of-the-art research,
ready-to-use facts. The 1,000 signed entries (with cross-references and
recommended readings) will cover issues in contemporary women’s and gender
studies and the articles will include information relevant to the
following academic disciplinary contexts: women in different
cultures/countries;
arts and media; business and economics; criminal justice; education;
family
studies; health; media; military; politics; science and technology;
sports; environmental studies; and religion. We are COMPLETING assignments

This comprehensive project will be published in stages by SAGE Reference

the project, are Dr. Mary Zeiss Stange of Skidmore College, and Dr. Carol
