Section 3, "Resources," is divided into three sections: statistics, bibliographies, and web sites. The entries are divided by format into books, pamphlets, government documents, dissertations, and theses, as well as articles in periodicals and books.

The sources selected for inclusion in the bibliography are from the social, political, feminist, and multicultural literature. Works from alternative publishers, the small presses, the feminist presses, and activist organizations are included.
