Additional databases from Alexander Street Press are always welcome to teachers, students, historians, librarians, and researchers.  ASP has the cleanest, most responsive search apparatus in the business.  The uncluttered presentation and ample hypertext anticipate users’ needs with extensive data on primary texts, sources, and translation and offer keyword searches in context, line-by-line, or by author or year.  Keywords appear in red.  The table of contents sorts terms under the headings of organizations, historical events, persons, publications, and broad or narrow topics along with the number of hits in primary or secondary sources.  An exhaustive bibliography covers 825 sources.  The presentation offers full coverage of fascinating progress in women’s history along with teaching tools, document projects, and a delightful album of historic photos, including a temperance flier, an anti-lynching poster, editorial cartoons, head shots and portraits of female activists, and pictures of women in actions making upholstery, canvassing voters, and striking shirtwaist factories and Texas pecan orchards.  The breakdown of documents into advertisements, diaries, letters, speeches, legal papers, and images simplifies the job of sorting through extensive historical texts and ephemera.  Faults are few.  The author index would be more thorough with the addition of pertinent images, and easier to read if there were less distance between entries and sources.  

Summing up: Highly recommended. All collections. Reviewer: M.E. Snodgrass, independent scholar
