Searching the Catalog

When searching in the Duke University on-line catalog, try some of the following subject headings:

• Feminist music
• Political ballads and song—United States
• Women—Songs and music
• Women musicians
• Feminism—United States—Songs and music
• Women—United States—Songs and music
• Lesbianism—Songs and music
• Women's music
• Women's rights—Songs and music

A keyword search may yield more results than a subject search. Try using:

• Women and music
• Women and music and United States
• Women and music and movement
• Women and music and feminism
• Lesbian* and music

Using the advanced search feature, you can limit the location to Special Collections to identify materials held by the Sallie Bingham Center. You can also limit the format field to "Manuscript," if you are interested in locating personal papers and/or organization records. The advanced search also provides an option for limiting the date with "year from" and "year to" fields.
