Editorial Reviews

Review

"Aside from providing useful information for researchers, [it]...acknowledges the progress made by women, but it also points to how much more needs to be done...Needless to say, this title will prove a useful and highly-appropriate resource for academic libraries supporting women, gender, and feminist studies." -- Tom Gilson ― Against the Grain Published On: 2011-11-01

"The value of Encyclopedia of Women in Today′s Worldlies in its focus on current popular topics."

-- Saundra Lipton ― Theological Librarianship: An Online Journal of the American Theological Library Association Published On: 2012-01-19

"I would recommend this online encyclopedia for reference collections geared primarily toward undergraduate students, as it is a wonderful jumping-off point for their exploration of the diverse opportunities and challenges facing women in today′s world."- Amanda Swygart-Hobaugh, Georgia State University, Librarian for Sociology, Anthropology, and Gerontology -- Amanda Swygart-Hobaugh ― Feminist Collections Published On: 2012-05-21

About the Author

My primary field of preparation is the history of Christianity, particularly post-Enlightenment. My teaching interests are intrinsically cross-disciplinary. In religion they include religion and culture studies, contemporary American religion, theology, religion and ecology, and feminist studies in religion. In addition to teaching in the religion curriculum, I also teach courses on feminist theories and methodologies, ecofeminism, and global and transnational feminism. In my pedagogy, as in my research and writing, I therefore move freely among women’s and gender studies, environmental studies and international affairs.
