This book is, without question, the most valuable work around for those who pursue an interest in a serious, systematic way. Completely revised and updated by the author, the handbook points to resources, organizations, and people, and helps the reader to understand the development and use of such expertise.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
When I asked Betty Friedan what overall lesson or moral she would draw for independent scholars from these experiences in conceiving, researching, and writing The Feminine Mystique, she said:
It probably has something to do with becoming intellectually autonomous not uncommonly....We free-lancers, for that's what many of us are, have to structure a growth pattern for ourselves-we can't just settle into a professorial "role" that's already there, provided by an institution. In many cases we have to innovate, to find something truly new and important, if we want to interest editors and readers, and command a following. No one pays much for rehashed, dull, or derivative writing-unlike the recognition which such stuff can command in academe.
Review
If you have been led to believe that scholarly contributions are the domain of only those who reside in the halls of academia, this book will show you otherwise. It is a do-it-on-your-own approach to becoming a knowledge seeker and creator, and having access to the same benefits afforded those associated with universities. Given here is information on how to design, fund and bring to fruition your project in the same tradition as independent creations like the Boston Women's Health Collective's Our Bodies, Ourselves (198) or Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party. This book is about pursuing your passions and being a free thinker while giving you the tools to sculpt those ideas into a finished form. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff
