Journal articles are an excellent source of Academic debate on your topic. Gender is an Interdisciplinary subject so many subject specific databases will include material relevant to Gender studies. Be prepared to search a range of resources in areas such as Health, Sociology, Current Affairs, Education, Law and so on.
