This guide contains materials dealing with sex and gender discrimination, sex stereotyping, and state/federal laws pertaining to gender or sex.
You will be able to find a plethora of materials on these topics in the full-text database for journal articles on Westlaw and Lexis. However, it is recommended that you use a bibliographic index, such as LegalTrac, instead as it will both be more comprehensive in its coverage and includes metadata such as subject headings and/or keywords. This will make your search far more comprehensive and you won't miss important materials because of varying terms.
Here are some recommended subject headings in LegalTrac:
Sexual Harassment
Sex Discrimination Against Women
Rape
Reproductive Rights
Prostitution
Domestic Violence
To locate books, consider using a subject search. This has the advantage of collating relevant materials together and will be more comprehensive than using a keyword search.
Here are some recommended subject headings:
Family Violence
Sex Discrimination Against Women
Homophobia
Rape
