A comprehensive collection for women's and gender studies, offering diverse perspectives, efficient research, and interconnectedness of social movements
Developed in collaboration with faculty, scholars, and librarians, ProQuest Women’s & Gender Studies reimagines ProQuest's award-winning women’s, men’s, masculinity, and LGBTQ+ studies content as a single, essential destination to serve research and learning in the field.
Curated interdisciplinary collections, many of which are rare and exclusive, are presented within a user interface specifically tailored for gender studies research. The visual experience supports both students and scholars helping them explore themes of evolving gender roles, intersectionality, the impact of key political and cultural events and movements, and the interplay between gender and identity.
Unique faculty-created, peer reviewed scholarly content is updated on a regular basis to help researchers investigate key topics and research questions alongside an extensive range of primary and secondary sources—from manuscripts and archival materials to historical magazines and periodicals, government documents, and rich multi-media image and streaming video resources.
Thematic, visual timelines help students understand the sequence and relationship of the seminal events of women’s and gender history, and curated topic pages offer the contextual information researchers need to explore the organizations and people who’ve shaped five centuries of history and our contemporary understanding of gender.
ProQuest Women’s & Gender Studies is best positioned to serve learning and research in women's, gender, and LGBTQ+ history with rich content and a student-centric approach to support interdisciplinary study across daily life, education, fashion and lifestyle, domesticity, health care, media stereotypes, cultural norms, and equal rights globally.
