Subject: FW: Looking for Book Reviewers on Eastern European/Balkan women

from: Linda Shult [lshult at library.wisc.edu]

Hello there,
We need to locate a reviewer for several books on Eastern European/Balkan
women. Our publication is Feminist Collections: A Quarterly
of Women's Studies Resources, which includes book and video reviews, news
of new periodicals, Internet websites and email lists, reference works, and
other items of interest to women's studies teachers, researchers, and
students.

We were originally planning for this review for our Spring 2000 issue, but
the reviewer we had scheduled came up with some severe health problems and
has had to cancel her contribution. So we're having to push the review to a
later issue at this point, and are thinking about the Fall 2000 issue (with
deadline approx. June 1, but somewhat flexible). The reviewer is returning
the books to us so we can send them along to you shortly, if you're
interested. We would be happy to send you a copy of Feminist Collections if
you're not familiar with it Some of our book reviews and columns appear on
our website (http://www.library.wisc.edu/libraries/WomensStudies/).

Length of a review would be from 1,000 - 1,500 words (4-6 pages
double-spaced). Here are the books we have in mind for a kind of review
essay:

Gender Politics in the Western Balkans: Women Society, and Politics in
Yugoslavia and the Yugoslav Successor States, ed. by Sabrina P. Ramet (Penn
State, 1999)

Women in Modern Albania: Firsthand Accounts of Culture and Conditions from
Over 200 Interviews, by Susan E. Pritchett Post (McFarland, 1998)

Women in the Politics of Postcommunist Eastern Europe, ed. by Marilyn
Rueschemeyer (Sharpe, 1998)

We would greatly appreciate your suggesting a person or two whom you
believe could do a good job with this review, or passing along the request
to someone who might make some good reviewer suggestions. Thanks very much!
