The Women and Society 
Unpublished Scholarly Papers Repository

---

The purpose of this Repository is to encourage authors who have unpublished scholarly papers to allow others access to them so as to permit comments and feedback on the papers, as well as encourage their eventual publication in final form through usual channels (e.g. refereed journals). From the perspective of the latter, it is hoped that not only will the papers be read by regular site visitors, but also by editors of journals, and publishers.

If you wish to submit a paper for inclusion in this repository, then please follow these procedures:

1. Using either MS Word or Wordperfect, save your document in HTML format (do a "save as" in your file menu). Pull up this HTML document in either Netscape Composer or some other HTML editor and format and save the document in standard printed page form (e.g. single spacing, Times Roman 10 pt font, etc.)

2. Send us an e-mail through our contact page telling us that you would like to submit the paper to the Women and Society Unpublished Papers Repository.

3. We will then send you further instructions on how to submit to us the HTML formatted document as an e-mail attachment.

4. Please note the following when submitting a paper to the Repository:

• This is a free service. There are no fees for this service.
• The paper must be directly relevant (NOT tangentially relevant--we reserve the right to rule on this) to the subject matter of this site (which, in a nutshell, is the exploration of the women and society nexus).
