Zotero collects all your research in a single, searchable interface. You can add PDFs, images, audio and video files, snapshots of web pages, and really anything else. Zotero automatically indexes the full-text content of your library, enabling you to find exactly what you're looking for with just a few keystrokes.

Some of the databases that you might find helpful for secondary sources are America History and Life, Contemporary Women's Issues, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Wiley Online Library. If you would like to add additional primary sources to your paper look at Georgia's Virtual Vault, Women and Social Movements in the US, New York Times Historical, NewsBank, Ancestry, Reader's Guide, and Reader's Guide Retrospective.  Berry also has a subscription to the Chicago Manual of Style if you can't find the citation information you need in Turabian.

If you are having trouble finding enough secondary sources in the research databases, you can trying searching in Google Books. What is good about this source is that it lets you search within the 'text' of many sources. You will need to be careful, however, that any source you find here is scholarly, nonfiction, and trust-worthy.

If you are writing about a subject from between the 1920s-1990s, you might have a difficult time finding newspaper sources in the standard databases.  Google's newspaper archive, however, covers much of this time frame and looks at a host of regional and local papers.

Admit it... haven't you always wanted to know?
