Online Resources
Women and Social Movements in the United States, 1600-2000
http://womhist.binghamton.edu

The Women and Social Movements website has become a quarterly online journal publishing document projects that employ collections of 15-30 primary documents to interpret key issues in U.S. Women's History. We also publish full-text sources related to these document projects as well as teaching tools and book, film, and website reviews. We plan in the upcoming year to add a new section focusing on related worldwide web links that address the issues we focus on. Increasingly we see ourselves providing faculty, librarians, and students a worldwide web portal offering a broad array of resources for research and teaching in U.S. Women's History. In this spirit we are inaugurating a new feature on the website, "News from the Archives," to provide timely notice of news from archives and repositories of interest to researchers in U.S. Women's History.

National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
http://www.americanhistory.si.edu/archives/WIB-tour/mainMovie.html
In this virtual tour you will meet four American women who succeeded in business in the twentieth century. Each woman – Freda Diamond, Estelle Ellis, Dorothy Shaver, and Brownie Wise – was exceptional in many respects. Each achieved a degree of visibility in her field enjoyed by few other women and each earned a comfortable living. At the same time, each woman’s career typified the experience of many businesswomen during the past fifty years. The papers of each woman are preserved in the Archives Center.
