Affirmative Action: Process Or Product?, Paul Lauter

Women's Studies Quarterly

There seems to be a trap lying in wait not too far down the road for those of us committed to affirmative action. Let's carry out the logic of "open hiring" procedures-if we may use that term to describe a process of broad advertising and search to fill each vacant position. Increasingly, in a tight job market, every advertisement produces a flood of applications: 90 to fill one history position; hundreds to fill another. Even the most humane committee or administrator will search for mechanical means to categorize a large number of unknown quantities. The logic of the process leads …

Seattle Schools Clean House, Deirdre O'Neill

Women's Studies Quarterly

Credit for awakening the Seattle schools' feminist consciousness lies with 55 women physical education teachers and coaches, who three years ago cried foul. Frustrated and angered over long-standing sex discrimination against women employees and students, they filed a complaint with the Washington State Human Rights Commission (HRC).

During the two and a half years of investigation by HRC, 40 of the women originally involved in the suit left the district. The persistence of the remaining 15 was rewarded by the recently signed conciliation agreement which promises corrective action by women and girls in physical education and athletic programs. In addition, …

Any Change In Sexist Texts? Feminist Press Staff Survey Education Publishers, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Are American publishers planning to do anything about the sexist bias found in their textbooks?

In order to answer this question, two Feminist Press staff members—Merle Froschl and Phyllis Arlow—conducted interviews this spring with 37 representatives of 15 New York educational publishers encompassing (with their subsidiaries and divisions) more than 200 educational publishers.

The study followed a more comprehensive investigation by Feminist Press staff of the state of sexism in the high school English and social studies curriculum. This larger study, initiated in September 1973, was conducted with the help of a generous planning grant from the Rockefeller Family Fund.

Schools: News And Resources, The Feminist Press

Another U.S. Congressperson, Senator Charles C. Percy, has introduced legislation to promote equal educational opportunities for women. The Women's Equal Educational Opportunity Act of 1974, like the Women's Educational Equity Act introduced by Representative Patsy Mink and Senator Walter Mondale, "is an attempt to call a halt to the processes that have robbed women of their potential. ... " Senator Percy contends that landmark laws such as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 are alone not enough to ensure equal educational opportunity for women. While the Mink and Mondale bill will "create a new program to support a …

Letter To The Editors, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

I just read your report on education in Minnesota in the Women's Studies Newsletter (Winter 1974). I'm pleased that you gave some coverage to Minnesota, which, from my current geographical vantage point, seems like a progressive paradise. However, the emphasis in your paragraph on the State Board of Education is somewhat misleading.

You mention the State Department of Education's certification requirement and then add that "groups like the feminist Emma Willard Task Force" have been used to teach the sexism component. Actually, there would be no such certification requirement without the Emma Willard Task Force. I am one of the …

La Mujer Chicana, Erlinda Gonzales Berry

Women's Studies Quarterly

La Mujer Chicana, a course in the Women's Studies Program at the University of New Mexico, was taught for the third time in the fall of 1973. The idea for the course germinated in an organization called Las Chicanas. Dissatisfied with their "women's auxiliary role" in the activities of the Chicano Center on campus, these women decided to come together to conduct consciousness-raising sessions. Most of the group were reluctant to become involved in the women's movement, for they felt the kind of intimidation Chicanas often feel before men and white women. But they also felt a strong need for …
