A word about selection. For the most part, items included here reflect primarily on Bennett's career. I have included some citations to pieces that do address her life, either in total or in part, but these are exceptions not the rule. When available I have provided the URL to particular sites and articles. For those interested in locating the other items, not available due to copyright restrictions, suggestions on how to find them are located at the end of this guide.
