Grass Roots Women's Studies: Chicago, Cathy N. Davidson

Women's Studies Quarterly

The women's studies offerings on college campuses in the Chicago area seem, at first glance, disappointing. the University of Chicago has no courses in this field; neither Northwestern University nor the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle allows an undergraduate major. But despite such inauspicious indications of a general lack of commitment to women's studies in the Second City, there are still a number of more or less established programs available. For example, both Chicago Circle and Northwestern, although they give no degree in women's studies, do staff courses that would almost allow one. At Circle, approximately 80 women each …

Review Of Women In Perspective: A Guide To Cross-Cultural Studies, Susan Lowes

Women's Studies Quarterly

WOMEN IN PERSPECTIVE: A GUIDE TO CROSS CULTURAL STUDIES, by Sue-Ellen Jacobs (University of Illinois Press, 1974: $3.45). It's hard to believe that an extended bibliography could be an underground classic, but in a sense this one was until this inexpensive paperback edition came out. Before that it circulated as a two-inch thick mimeographed 8½ x 11 tome. As a reference, this book is invaluable and should be useful to people in many fields—anthropology, sociology, political science, etc.

Review Of Feminist Literary Criticism: Explorations In Theory, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

FEMINIST LITERARY CRITICISM: EXPLORATIONS IN THEORY, edited by Josephine Donovan (The University Press of Kentucky, 1975.) 81 pp. Five essays never before published plus the editor's brief preface and afterword, this slim volume is a useful addition to the growing shelf of feminist criticism.

Review Of Nonsexist Education For Young Children: A Practical Guide, Selma Greenberg

Women's Studies Quarterly

NONSEXIST EDUCATION FOR YOUNG CHILDREN: A PRACTICAL GUIDE, edited by Barbara Sprung (New York: Citation Press, 1975, $3.25). I can sum up my response to this publication in four words: Buy it! Read it! Although primarily designed for teachers and administrators of early childhood education programs, it will interest the parents of young children, particularly those involved in cooperative or parent-directed early childhood programs. However, all persons interested in the reduction and elimination of sexism in the educational process will find this book well-written, well-documented, and sound in its views of past and present early childhood education. The commitment to …
