"This international survey of literature on women an mass communications focuses on the 1990s and continues where the first volume (1991) left off. Some pre-1990 works that were omitted in the first volume are included here as well. The work is organized by continents and regions. The first chapter provides a global perspective, and the following chapters are divided topically. All genres of publications, such as books, periodicals, dissertations, and conference papers, are examined." (Catalogue Greenwood Publishing 2000)
