A few more "statistics" on women would be useful, no? I thought this
might interest some ECOFEMers; forward suggestions to the person
listed at the end of the message.

ANNOUNCEMENT
RE: Historical Statistics of the United States, Millennial
Edition, Colonial Times to the Present
A major project to produce a thoroughly revised, updated, and
expanded edition of the Historical Statistics of the United States
which was last published in 1975 has been initiated. This will
be an effort of the scholarly community with the partial support
of the National Science Foundation. This project will be
undertaken with the cooperation of the US Census Bureau,
however Census Bureau staff will act only in an advisory
capacity. The publication will be undertaken by Cambridge
University Press. The editorial team for the project will be
Susan Carter, Scott Gartner, Michael Haines, Alan Olmstead,
Richard Sutch and Gavin Wright.
Our objective is to publish both a two-volume hard-cover edition
and an electronic (probably CD-ROM) edition of Historical
Statistics in the year 2000. Our aim is to produce a worthy
successor to the Bicentennial Edition of Historical Statistics, an
authoritative and comprehensive guide to the most important and
reliable historical time series available including data produced
by government statistical agencies, other institutions, and
individual scholars.
This is a very important undertaking both for historical science
and the general public. Previous editions of Historical Statistics
have been among the half-dozen most widely-used and
frequently-cited reference works available. To ensure the
success of this project, CUP hopes to enlist the cooperation of
scholars and experts throughout the United States.
If you have suggestions concerning the contents, scope, or
format of the new edition, please respond by e-mail to Richard
Sutch or Frank Smith.
