A newly expanded and updated guide to resources for teaching about the challenges that face women in astronomy, and the achievements that women have made despite those challenges, is now available at: http://bit.ly/womenastronomers
The materials have been selected so they can be assigned to students at the Astro 101 level. The guide was compiled by Andrew Fraknoi, Emeritus Chair of Astronomy at Foothill College and the former executive director of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
After sections listing resources on general history and issues related to women’s roles in astronomy, the guide features more specific books, articles, videos, and webpages
