FEDERAL WOMEN'S PROGRAM Library ERC-Cincinnati WQMEN AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Prepared in honor of Women's Week, September 1977 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Research Center 26 West St. Clair Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45268 ------- INTRODUCTION. The following books are part of the EPA- Cincinnati Library collection. In writing the annotations, we attempted to review the books themselves. In some cases however, the books were out of the library, so we had to depend on book jackets or other sources. As. a result we could not always tell if the viewpoint was "traditional" or "feminist." In addition to the books, the library subscribes to the following magazines: Ms. New Woman Spokeswoman Woman Power Working Woman We will be updating the list at least twice a year. If you would like to be on the distribution list, call one of us at X7701. Lilian Bosworth and JoAnn Johnson, Compilers AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR WOMEN. A PRACTICAL GUIDE.
