Most people are not aware of the volume of non-fiction articles, books, Masters theses and PhD dissertations written about Arizona women. Doing the research to find this material is time consuming. This bibliography pulls together hundreds of published nonfiction sources that provide information about the experiences and contributions of Arizona women who collectively represent Arizona’s rich and diversified racial, ethnic, cultural, social, economic and political history.
This bibliography is meant for the person who is interested in reading about these experiences. It can also provide students, educators, amateur historians, and scholars with a starting point for research in the topics they are interested in.
