Looking for something different for your research? Hunting for articles that might be a little off the beaten path regarding women’s issues? Contemporary Women’s Issues, a great database provided by Harper College Library,  combines mainstream and alternative press publications to give you a wide-range of perspectives. Check them out for informative, thoughtful and ground-breaking writing today. The database is located through Articles & More on the library homepage.
