Reading Women's Lives
Faculty at the The Ohio State University Department of Women's Studies collaborated to create the innovative, flexible teaching tool, Reading Women's Lives, now in it's 3rd edition.Reading Women's Lives is a database of over 400 articles, essays, and poems that instructors can select from to create their own customized reader for introductory Women's Studies courses, specialized courses like Women and Literature, or as a supplemental reader to courses where gender is one of the topics addressed. Instructors choose only the articles they want to fit their specific curriculum, and they can change their readings every time they teach.
Readings are distributed over 19 themes. Each theme has an accompanying introductory essay written by a member of the OSU faculty that may be selected as well. The entire database content is now available for review from Pearson Publishing, free of charge.
