Examples of Articles

For your assignment, you need to identify and analyze articles that use feminist theories.  

The articles below were found by doing the keyword search, "female genital mutilation", in Women's Studies International. 

Can you identify the theories in these examples?

Database Searching Suggestions

Here are some recommended resources and strategies for your project.


Women's Studies International - Journal Database       

 

It is set to search using Boolean operators...if you want to search without, make sure to change the setting,which is located under the search boxes in "Search Options". 

 

 Online Catalog Books

 

Don't forget to try "Subject Heading" search, located on the fourth tab.  This uses Library of Congress Subject Headings.  You can do a search such as:  Women (fill in a country or geographic area) social conditions example:  women china social conditions

 

If you are doing a keyword search and want to focus on "21st Century" as a time period...remember you can also use the word "millenium" or focus your search to books published after 2000.  You can limit your search by choosing the advanced search screen.
