"We decided that we shall not be ignored any longer. We are going to educate this campus community." These are the words of Karen Bye, a self-avowed lesbian and the major force in forming the Wilde-Stein Club. The club is composed of male and female homosexuals who meet each week to find social and psychological support from each other.

Letter From Alverno College, Sister Joel Read
Letter From Alverno College, Sister Joel Read
Women's Studies Quarterly
In a women's college, it seems to us, it is unnecessary, and in fact redundant, to have a Women's Studies Program. The Faculty Institute on the Education of Women, September 1-2, 1971, sensitized all those responsible for the educational process to the particular needs, interests, socialization effects which women experience.

Review Of Images Of Women In Fiction: Feminist Perspectives, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
IMAGES OF WOMEN IN FICTION: FEMINIST PERSPECTIVES, edited by Susan Koppelman Cornillon (Popular Press, Bowling Green, 1972: paper, $4.00), gathers some of the best examples of feminist literary criticism, grouping them in four categories: the woman as heroine (traditional views), the invisible woman (the woman as "other"), the woman as hero (women as whole people), and feminist aesthetics.

Review Of Sexism In School And Society, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
SEXISM IN SCHOOL AND SOCIETY by Nancy Frazier and Myra Sadker (Harper and Row, New York, 1973: paper, $2.95) is among the first titles in a new series of texts meant for undergraduate education majors interested in "Critical Issues." It will also be useful for parents, teachers, and others looking for a concise account of the failure of schools and colleges to serve the sexes equally.

Do-It-Ourselves Curriculum Materials, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
The following notes, prepared by J. J. Wilson, reflect the Women's Studies Program at Sonoma State College, Rohnert Park, Calif. 94928. In our Women's Biography course one afternoon, discussion turned to the kinds of questions we wanted biographies of women to answer—for example, what do women fear most? We decided to begin immediately by asking those questions of ourselves. For twenty minutes the whole class wrote. A loving sister, not ashamed to admit to her secretarial skills, took these papers home and typed them onto dittos; someone else ran them off; others collated them. We could then begin to answer …

Women In Law, Anne Trebilcock
Women In Law, Anne Trebilcock
Women's Studies Quarterly
With women entering law in record numbers, law school curricula are changing to include a feminist perspective. Yet a great need remains for more feminist attorneys, jurists, and legislators. While law has lent itself to abuse by oppressive forces, it can be an aid in the liberation of women and other underrepresented groups. But isn't the problem of too few women lawyers taking care of itself? Granted, the female percentage of law students nationwide has more than doubled in the last five years. In the fall of 1972, 12,172 women were enrolled in 149 American Bar Association approved law schools. …

Review Of La Mujer: En Pie De Lucha, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
LA MUJER: EN PIE DE LUCHA, edited by Dorinda Moreno (Espina del Norte, San Francisco, 1973: paper, $8.50), should please those teachers who have felt the lack of materials by and about Latin women. The book has ten chapters: four on Chicanas; one on other Third World women in North America; one on women in Mexico, one on Cuban women, and one on women in other Latin American countries.

What Happened At Sacramento, Deborah Rosenfelt
What Happened At Sacramento, Deborah Rosenfelt
Women's Studies Quarterly
There it is—the cleavage in purpose and ideology that ran like a crack in the earth through the activities of the Women's Conference at Sacramento in May, appropriately called "Women's Studies and Feminism: Survival in the 1970's." The conference brought together—so to speak—some 700 women from throughout the western states for three long days of speeches, workshops, programs—and confrontations. So the work of the conference was carried out, really, on two levels: the usual conference activities of meeting, talking, listening, exchanging information and ideas; and that other, more complex, more difficult business of coping with this polarization of attitude and …
Foundation Grants To Women's Groups, Marjorie Fine Knowles
Foundation Grants To Women's Groups, Marjorie Fine Knowles
Women's Studies Quarterly
The issues women's groups present when they come to seek foundation grants often open up areas for discussion that literally strike uncomfortably close to home; they are often challenging cherished assumptions about the patriarchal family and the educational system which nourishes it. They come seeking funding for a new academic discipline called "women's studies"; or for support of litigation to abolish the sex discrimination which, foundation executives are shocked to discover, pervades our legal system. Outraged groups of mothers can document, and want to challenge, the sexism in textbooks and children's television. Women of all races want support to develop …

Closeup: Washington Women's Studies Program, Julie E. Coryell, Mary L. Eysenbach
Women's Studies Quarterly
Women Studies started at the University of Washington in 1970, the year of expansion of the war into Cambodia, the Kent State killings, and national demonstrations. In Washington, 1970 was also the year of the successful campaign for liberal abortion reforms, and at UW the beginning of agitation for university-sponsored child care facilities. Women had grown increasingly aware of the university's discrimination against them in employment and curriculum. Three women initiated the first course. Innocently titled "Women 101," it surveyed the role of women in social history, psychology, literature, art, public media, work, sexuality, race, law. The course helped build …

Bragging About Bragging, Susan Koppelman Cornillon
Bragging About Bragging, Susan Koppelman Cornillon
Women's Studies Quarterly
One of the most important functions of women's studies is to establish an understanding of the crippling effects on our egos and self-esteem of our second-class status. I have developed a technique that I use in my women's studies classes that offers one approach to this task. My course, called "The Problems and Potential of Women," meets once a week for a three hour session and is limited to fifteen people. The first night we go around the room and each woman talks a little about herself and about why she's taking the course. We try to begin knowing each …
Wesleyan Conference Considers How To Evaluate Women's Studies, Sheila Tobias, Lorelei Brush, Alice Gold
Wesleyan Conference Considers How To Evaluate Women's Studies, Sheila Tobias, Lorelei Brush, Alice Gold
Women's Studies Quarterly
What is the general impact of women's studies? Is our investment in women's studies courses the best way to improve the higher education of women? Concerned and curious about these questions, a group of Wesleyan University faculty began in March 1973 to look into the possibility of evaluating women's studies. After preliminary discussion and research, the group decided to invite teachers of women's studies to meet with social scientists knowledgeable about evaluative research to raise the question of evaluation. With the assistance of the Ford Foundation, which made a small grant available for preliminary conferences, a meeting was held on …
How It Works Out: The Women's Studies Graduate, Nancy Jo Hoffman
How It Works Out: The Women's Studies Graduate, Nancy Jo Hoffman
Women's Studies Quarterly
We're all so busy developing our own women's studies programs, creating new curriculum, hassling over funding, over internal governance and community-related programs, that most of us rarely have time to ask how women's studies affects the work lives of students once they leave the university for full-time participation in the real anti-feminist world. But a program that has been functioning for several years produces graduates: what are they up to? Historically, women in America have been the temporaries in the labor force—though one can be temporary 40 hours a week, for 40 years of one's life. Has women's studies begun …

Closeup: Hawaii's Women's Studies Program, Doris M. Ladd, Dorothy Stein, Marilyn Harman, Judith Gething, Anne Kauka, Mirella Belshe, Donna Haraway, Joan Abramson
Women's Studies Quarterly
As the University of Hawaii seeks to cut its budget and its position count, Women's Studies at the Manoa campus can only hope that its modest requirements, low profile, absence of an administrative head, and experience in developing within the most precarious of situations may allow it to survive. None of the faculty have tenure; only two out of eight have career ladder positions; three of our faculty will not know until late summer whether they have even part-time jobs; one has been fired; and the rest have job security for one more year.

Women's Studies Programs, The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
The programs in Women's Studies listed below are interdisciplinary: i.e., they combine courses in literature, language, or culture, with work in sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, history, philosophy, psychology, biology, and related fields. Some programs offer minors, others award the B.A., still others the M.A. Programs listed without a specific label offer a roster of elective courses. Where no chairperson is listed, either the program is still in the process of organization or it has chosen to function through a committee, rather than a single individual.
Ninth Grader Calls Math Book 'Sexist', The Feminist Press
Ninth Grader Calls Math Book 'Sexist', The Feminist Press
Women's Studies Quarterly
[The following story is reprinted by permission from the Superintendent's Bulletin, Montgomery County (Md.) Public Schools.] An enterprising ninth grader [Ms. Ann MacArthur] at Montgomery Hills Junior High has analyzed her algebra book and denounced it as "sexist." In a lengthy memo to her principal, Nathan P. Pearson, she recommends that the book [Modern Algebra: Structure and Method, Book I by Mary Dolciani, Simon L. Berman, Julius Frelich, Albert E. Mider (Houghton-Mifflin, 1962)] be replaced before it causes any more "mind pollution." Her premise is based on a detailed analysis of the word problems in her ninth grade algebra book, …
