TOCH LIBRARY

Most of the books in Hans Toch’s library are heavily marked up. This makes them worthless monetarily, but a treasure to see what he considered significant in the many classics in his library. Many are written by his former students.

WOMEN'S PRISON: SEX AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

DAVID A. WARD AND AND GENE C. KASSEBAUM

FROM THE PREFACE:” This study began with our interest in gathering data on women in prison to see whether there were female prisoner types consistent with the reported characteristics of male prisoners. Early in the course of this study it became apparent that the most salient distinction to be made among the female inmates was between those who were and those who were not engaged in homosexual behavior in prison, and further, of those who were so involved, between the incumbents of "masculine" and "feminine" roles. Compared to the sociological literature on men's prisons, little is known about the social organization of the women's prison, and with the exception of the Gluecks' Five Hundred Delinquent Women, (1934), virtually no systematically collected empirical data on female prisoners have been published.”
