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.
