Women in development : a selected annotated bibliography and resource guide
It is becoming increasingly clear that the costly efforts to integrate women more fully into the development process, e.g., by including nontraditional roles within the scope of women"s activities, are often thwarted by long-standing cultural, political, social, and economic traditions.

Abstract
In response to the expanding literature on these issues and increased reader interest, Michigan State University"s Non-Formal Education (NFE) Center has prepared this annotated bibiliography to update a 1978 bibliography on women in development published in The NFE Exchange. In the first of five sections, 167 items (1967-80) are listed and subdivided into two subsections. The first subsection lists publications having a general or global significance in the areas of general development, agriculture, food production, education, employment, work, family, nutrition, and health. The second subsection arranges references such as project reports, case studies, and specialized resource guides pertinent to specific geographical regions, i.e., Africa and the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The bibliography"s second main section consists of an alphabetical listing of 47 women-oriented journals, newsletters, and periodicals, as well as 27 (1969-80) special issues of other periodicals addressing women"s topics. To provide more comprehensive access to women"s literature, a third section lists 19 (1970-80) bibliographies which focus on specialized topics or geographic areas. These bibliographies, notes one of the compilers in her introduction, will help researchers and planners locate materials preceding the period emphasized in this present bibliography. In the fourth section, 71 organizations dealing with women"s issues -- many of which, it is noted, disseminate up-to-date specialized information on women -- are listed by geographic region of activity, i.e., international, Africa and the Middle East, Asia and Pacific, Europe and North America, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The fifth and final section is an alphabetical listing of 53 (1976-80) recent acquisitions by the NFE Information Center.
