ABSTRACT: Designed to provide answers to questions on
women's issues and programs, the guide is arranged into two
parts. Part 1, which comprises about three-fourths of the
guide, contains background information and answers to often
asked questions on 84 issues, such as abortion, affirmative
action, battered women, divorce, incest, and insurance. Each
entry includes historical background, current status, and
statistics. Also included for each social issue is a list of
pertinent national women's organizations (and in some cases
local groups) and a selection of print resources. Part 2 is
a directory of national women's organizations and women's
caucuses or divisions of national organizations. Addresses
and telephone numbers are provided and goals and programs
are described. (RM)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate

floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
