Hist 3309 (women&work)

For this project you will need to use a variety of resources.

• For general government information on: Switzerland, England, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Greece, and Australia, you can begin with this list of international government webpages (maintained by Northwestern), the CIA fact book , or the list of UN member countries.
• I would also suggest looking at some reference books on your country and on women's history.
• Here is the Women's studies guide. I would particularly suggest searching Contemporary Women's Issues. If you are interested in how culture is structured around the workplace and women, take a look at Sociology resources, especially Sociological Abstracts.
• In terms of laws and government regulations concerning women in the workplace, take a look at the Political Science guide for legal regulations and at PAIS International and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts for political information.
• For historical looks at this topic, take a look at the History guide especially Historical Abstracts
• In terms of Statistics, try eurostat or search for the statistics gathering arm of the government you are researching (for example, in the U.S.A it is the census) . You can also search Google for WorldBank statistics
