The 3rd title is of your choice. What are choices?What kind of book to choose? Research books or monographs would be the best choice if you need to describe a concept, theory, or cite the results of specific research. “A monograph is a scholarly book or a treatise on a single subject or a group of related subjects, usually written by one person. It is a one-time publication that is complete in itself. It may refer to a detailed, well-documented work on a limited subject or a person.” (Wikipedia) Monographs are the most important results of scholarly works in Social Sciences or Humanities. Women’s Studies belongs to both: Social Sciences (sociology, economics, political sciences, ethnics studies) and Humanities (literature, arts, theater, philosophy, popular culture and media studies) Use Book reviews and Google Scholar Reviews might be useful as source of ideas. You may be agree or disagree with their interpretation of the reviewed book and express your own opinion and ideas about it. Three voices: author’s, reviewer’s, and yours might help you to move ahead with your writing Bibliographies (look at the Lower level at the Ablah Library, ex. Krikos, Linda A. and Cindy Ingold. Women's studies: a recommended bibliography. Call no.: Z7963.F44 ‡K75 2004). Bibliographies are very useful, especially if you know authors and topics. But if you are not sure how good author/book is, choose a book from bibliography, find reviews (some good books have several reviews) and add your thoughts on the subject. has books you can look inside, including table and content and index and customers’ reviews; some of reviews can be trusted, and others are no much
