Women and Social Movements in the United States  Scholar’s Edition is a resource for students and scholars of U.S. history and U.S. women’s history.   Organized around the history of women in social movements in the U.S. between 1600 and 2000, this collection seeks to advance scholarly debates and understanding about U.S. history generally at the same time that it makes the insights of women’s history accessible to teachers and students at universities, colleges, and high schools.

The collection currently includes 91 document projects and archives with more than 3,600 documents and 150,000 pages of additional full-text documents, and more than 2,060 primary authors.  It also includes book, film, and website reviews, notes from the archives, and teaching tools.  Also included are a digital archive, consisting of 90,000 pages of publications of federal, state, and local Commissions on the Status of Women between 1961 and 2005; and an online edition of the five-volume biographical dictionary, Notable American Women (1971-2004). 5,000 pages of new full-text sources are added annually.
