The voices of women, nonbinary, and other marginalized communities are underrepresented in academia, government, healthcare, and other industries. History has shown, that even when women researchers did the work, many times others took credit for it. Other times there may be a name change and the scholarly record from that person has a break.
By intentionally seeking out and citing work created by and for individuals from marginalized communities, we help to advocate for the creators, their communities, and the perspectives they present. At the same time, we broaden our own understanding of the topic.
For books by classes of people, first, identify the subject heading used for that class of person, then add subject subdivision terms to narrow your search.
For autobiographies and memoirs, use the subject subdivision term Biography (LCSH).
For primary sources try these subject subdivision terms to find first hand accounts by historically marginalized voices:
Sources (LCSH): combine with historical topics or authors (e.g. Gays Sources).
Personal narratives (LCSH): combine with events and wars (e.g. Feminists Personal narratives).
Correspondence (LCSH): combine with names of individuals, classes of people, and ethnic groups (e.g. Women authors Correspondence).
Diaries (LCSH): combine with names of individuals, classes of people, and ethnic groups (e.g. Women Diaries).
Use Browzine to search for and explore journals by title or to browse journals by topic. The Gordon Library recommends broadly searching using the keyword 'gender and sexuality', and then clicking into some of the more narrowly focused topical materials.
The following links will introduce users to a variety of external resources related to gender and sexual orientation bias, and features a range of professional organizations, academic library guides, collections, scholarly literature, and first person accounts.
