New Resource Guide on Women in Astronomy
at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific Website
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

An updated, expanded resource guide to the
role women have played and are playing in the development
of astronomy is now available on the web-site of the
non-profit Astronomical Society of the Pacific:
http://www.astrosociety.org/education/resources/womenast_bib.html

The guide includes both printed and web-based
materials, and has general references on the topic
plus specific references to the work and lives of 32
women astronomers of the past and present. All
the materials are at the non-technical level and thus
appropriate for student papers, curriculum development,
or personal enrichment.

The guide makes reference to 178 different web
resources, as well as books and articles that are either
in print or found in many larger libraries.

This resource guide is part of a series that can be
found on the Society's web-site, on such topics as the
astronomy of many cultures, debunking astronomical
pseudo-science, and resources for astronomy education.
