Acknowledgments We would like to acknowledge the help of four people who contributed time and energy' to this edition ofFeminist ResourcesIlene Hertz, a year- 'round volunteer at The Feminist Press, helped, in the early stage. Lauren t.. Rosenbloom,ta student at Kenyon College, gave up a promising career as a waitress to devoteher summer to The Press and spent most, of it working on , Feminist Resources.Lucy Whittaker arrived at a crucial point near the end of the project, proofread tpe entire manuscript and compiled the publishers' 4 lit. Her help was indispensable. But.most of all, we want to thank Jeanne Ford, Director of the Women's Center at the University of Texas/Arlington, who devoted six weeks ofthesummerto all phases of this project. She not only researched the Material in the "Law," "Strategies for Change" and "Preschool and Elementary Educ-atib-zictions, but cut, pasted and typed.' 'in true cooperative spirit. Jeanne has proven her dedication by becoming the only transcontinental volunteer The Feminist Press has ever, had. s. :4),) M.F./J.W. 1 1, .. i N $ '' --__ -,- . , . I C . 'Y.

Feminist Resources is an annotated bibliography of nonsexist books, pamphlets, articles and other materials for teachers and students, preschool through higher education. The first edition was published in 1973 to meet the needs of and support an emerging feminist consciousness among those concerned with sex-equality in education. Since 1973, the tremendous leap both in the quantity and quality of material,s has created an urgent need for an up- dated edition. The size of this new bibliographyand the quality of the materials included testify to the continujng energy of feminists engaged in long-range efforts, to change/the education of women and men. We began dur compilation for this edition by'evaluating every entry in the original Feminist Resoures. Approximately two - thirds of theseitems were eliminated either because they were no longer available or becausetrey had been replaced by newer materials. We also searched other resource,guides -and- consulted our own rich curriculUm files. Finally, we checked the catalogs of more than fifty commercial publishers and ordered all appropriate materials. Our goal throughout was to be inclii§ive yet selective.* The organization of the material in the second edition hasbee4,revisea in - order to help readers findhppropriate citations more quickly. The five major divisions are Overview', Preschool and flementary Education, Secondary' "Ediwation, Higher Education and Sources of Further Information The Overview section begins with "Basic Readings" on consciousness-raising and ,feminist theory, five other categories within the section are "Book Studied," "For the Counselor," "Law," "Sports," 'Strategies for Change." The next three sections, organized according to education level, are each divided into "Readings': and "Curriculum." Educational levels, of course, are notfinite .% and materials listed in the section for one level may well be used in the classroom of another. Comparing the original edition of Femini Resoursancrtiki revised version reveals significant similarities and difences. This edition reaffirms the validity of the basic concept of the original editors. As Carol Ahlumand Jacqueline Fralley stated in their introdu'ction: This resource list, is a selective guide for leachers, students, librarians and parentsinterested in challenging sexism in education and in creating *Some'of the-citations in this edition are not annotated because we were unable to examine the materials first-hand. When we 'could not examine a piece, wewould include it only if it came from a source we respected. Each annotetion includescomplete information with two exceptions. price and publishers' addresses. Because pric'es change frequently, we did no nclude them, publishers' addresses-are listed in a separate section at the end of qie public tion. ix 5 nonsexist and feminist curriculum.... First, the entries should help teachers and others to understand theways in which sexism is institutionalized in elementary and secondary school.Second, .the list' should help'teachersto locate materials with whichto create nonsexist and feminist curriculum. When Ahlum and Fralley putogethePthe.Tirst Feminist Resources, they . mooted that the majority of curriculum came &Om small andalternative sources. this is stilltrue in 1976. While these "fugitive"materials are excellent, one wouldexpect thit in the past three j/ears,commercial,trade and\educational publisherswould have responded with excellentnew - material; to meet. what are obviously growing dem-ands. However,our search demonstrated that these publishprs havenot begun to meet these demands. In the catalogs of themore than fifty major educational publisherswe examined for this edition, only one-thirdadvertised any relevant material- and much Of that did notineet,our standards.for inclusion: In general, commercial publishers have madesuperficial, not fundamental changes. For exaniple,-publishers will notrewrite aranthropology text titled,say, Man and His World to elitninateits 'pervading male bias andto add new research on women in prehistory.Instead, they might tacka filmstrip,called. I "Women Today" on toa current affairs series..This kind of patching,plainly asimplistic reaction topressure, currently fills publishers' catalogs with_ token piecesson women, blacks and otherminorities. While it is important to continue to presiure for change intextbooks, it will probably also be necessary to let publishers know thata few miscellaneous filmstrips will not be adequate; that it will in factbe necessary to rewrite
