Gale and Yorkin Publications broke new ground with the publication of the Dartmouth Medal-winning set, Women in World History. Now, with the release of Dictionary of Women Worldwide, Gale is again teaming with Yorkin Publications to offer something similarly extraordinary.
Unlike other women-focused dictionaries, most of which focus on a small number of famous women, this two-volume dictionary contains 25,000 brief biographical entries. In addition, Dictionary of Women Worldwide provides thousands of entries on non-U.S. figures, another unique characteristic. Includes an occupation index, ethnicity/nationality index and a chronological index.

After 1960, the birth control pill and changing cultural mores promised women the freedom to explore and celebrate their sexuality. Yet decades later, women are still disappointed and dissatisfied sexually. Sex Matters for Women promises to "help you succeed where the sexual revolution failed" in finding sexual fulfillment. The authors, all sex therapists, have packed this self-help guide with information, anecdotes, and exercises for women of all ages and orientations. They explain anatomy and sexual functioning in detail, but they also acknowledge that your sexual response is affected by more than your body parts. Your sexual history, body image, and the quality of your relationship play a huge role. You'll explore where your attitudes and difficulties come from and examine both the physiological and emotional components of your sexuality. Dozens of exercises show you how to start to make changes today that will enhance your quality of life as well as your sexuality.
