SEARCH HINT OF THE MONTH
March 2007
National Women's History Month
Celebrate National Women’s History Month by visiting the Literary Reference Center to research your favorite women historians, thinkers, poets, and writers. Literary Reference Center is an intuitively designed research database with hundreds of reference works, periodicals, and scholarly journals as well as thousands of literary works and information on authors. More than just articles, Literacy Reference Center delivers the following:
-
Literary Criticism
-
Masterplots
-
Reviews
-
Interviews
-
Reference Books
-
Poems and Stories
You’ll be able to quickly sort its impressive breadth of content, as its search results are organized under tabs by resource type (e.g., Biographies, Reviews, Poems/Stories) and can be sorted by Relevance, Title, Date, Source, or Author. You’ll be amazed at just how easy it is to find information! For this month’s search hint, we’ll explore the life and contributions of bell hooks—who spells her name without capitals—a prolific feminist writer and one of America’s leading intellectual figures.
