v.1. A-L -- v.2. M-Z.
Presents a blend of folktales told to women, tales told about them and also subjects that are associated with women. Locke(expository writing, Oklahoma University), Vaughan ( humanities and philosophy, University of Central Oklahoma ) and Greenhill ( women and gender studies, University of Winnipeg ) preface the entries with essays that explain the rationale behind the choices. Many of them take gender - neutral subjects, such as cyber-culture, and discuss of it in terms of women participation and preoccupations about it. Others look at occupations traditionally associated with women as knitting or cooking, exploring how they can be both transmitters and subjects of foklore. Others deal with women as the subject of folklore.
