Preface
This bibliography was begun in 1985 by staff of the Illinois Building
Fairness Resource Center, which I directed and which was supported
through the Illinois State Board of Education with funds originating
from the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act of 1984. One of
the center's objectives was to provide suggestions of specific
resources for use by administrators, teachers, and counselors in their
attempts to overcome gender role stereotyping and sex bias in schools.
After the close of the Building Fairness Resource Center, I continued
adding to the bibliography through early 1993.
As I reviewed the hundreds of articles, curriculum guides, books,
workshop guides, videos, and classroom activities pertaining to this
subject, it became evident that not all materials with promising titles
and subtitles lived up to their promises. I omitted outdated or poorly
developed materials that use concepts or examples that might create
more amusement than understanding of the equity issues. However,
some materials developed as early as the 1970s or early 1980s remain
useful, and I included them. Only those materials I deem worthy for
use in the recommended settings are described in the annotations.
Many of the materials included in the bibliography are available for
loan or purchase. I provided ordering information where it was
available to me, but because of possible price adjustments over time, I
did not include cost information. I also included additional
information for videotapes, filmstrips, and slide presentations where it
was available to me.
Each entry appears once in the bibliography, under the most pertinent
category. Entry codes are listed in the index under other relevant
categories where appropriate. Readers may look up specific categories
of interest to them in the index and locate the entry codes indicating
the bibliographical categories in which resources are described. I hope
that this bibliography will provide professional sex equity staff,
administrators, teachers, and counselors with a reliable, easy to use
guide for selecting materials and readings.
I gratefully acknowledge appreciation to Becky Markham, a resource
specialist, Sandra Wagner, a marvel with the computer, and Julie Feig,
Angie Bush, and Deb Morrow who tirelessly edited and revised
entries.
