The status of women in librarianship cannot be assessed without a consideration of women's general status in society, as well as the relative positioning of librarianship in the broader world of work. With the publication of this volume, ALA's Committee on the Status of Women in Librarianship (COSWL) continues its commitment to identify published materials on the status of women in the profession and to compile, update, and issue a bibliography of these materials on a regular basis. The years covered in this volume were a particularly rich time for writings relevant to the status of women in librarianship and information science. In addition to a large body of journal literature, these years also witnessed the publication of several significant books. Also notable during these years was the growing trend on the part of many LIS writers to draw on the rich body of gender and feminist studies outside LIS to inform the study of gender in the LIS field. The editors of On Account of Sex perform a very important service to all who are concerned with women in librarianship by bringing together the body of work upon which future scholarship must be built.

It is a fascinating and hugely useful volume which, like its predecessors, will be welcomed by those working in the area. * Library Association Record * Certainly all academic libraries and larger public libraries will want to have this important volume on their shelves. * Canadian Library Journal * Libraries who have purchased the previous three bibliographies will definitely want to add this volume to their shelves. It will also be useful to any library that serves women's studies programs. * American Reference Books Annual * While the goal of making readily accessible in one place the bibliographic output on women in the library profession remains the same, the current editors offer a greater inclusiveness and a modernized organization...This latest edition of a classic work shows that even excellence can be reenvisioned and improved upon. * Information & Culture * As you browse through this volume, you will want to learn more about women librarians' past and present and search for ways to contribute to the profession in the future.
