AM has once again produced an impressive archive of important primary documents that give users a firsthand glimpse into the perspectives and mindsets of an underrepresented but essential group in UK and Irish history. The accounts of daily life and the roles and responsibilities of women since 1600 are riveting to read and hear. 

This standout archive is well-organized, easy to use, and feature-laden, highlighting primary documents that are essential for an understanding of the activities and events related to global human rights, social change, international relations, and political events of the last decades of the 20th century. An indispensable resource for students of the global human rights movement.

BBC Monitoring provides exceptional primary documents about political, social, military, cultural events, and intelligence gathering from the start of World War II to the early 21st century. 

As with the previous modules in the series, this collection of primary resources is exceptional, with unique content and user-friendly features. It is an excellent resource for researchers of gender and women’s studies, LGBTQIA+ studies, cultural studies, and social history. Moreover, it expertly expands upon the five earlier collections of the archives and pairs well with other Gale primary resources.
