My research process went fairly smoothly. I accessed Hunter’s online database, Proquest (Ebrary) and found these six sources. The most useful search terms I used were “Faulkner and gender,” “Faulkner and men,” “Faulkner and women,” and “Faulkner and the south.” These terms helped me to find various articles and journals that were very helpful to my writing process. Even when I didn’t end up using a source, I learned something new which was a great experience. In the moments I was having trouble finding a source for a particular point, I tried consulting Jstor, Google Scholar, and others but couldn’t find what I was looking for. I went back to Ebrary and eventually found what I needed. Even though I didn’t find anything on the other databases, learning the different styles of searching for information will be useful in the future I’m sure.

Looks good, Deborah. A simple but messy strategy you might use is to check out the last few volumes of the FAULKNER AND YOKNAPATAWPHA series in Ebrary, regardless of topic. There will be work on Faullkner and gender there, for sure, and then you can mine the notes to gather more recent work. But this looks great.
