FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

The National Women's Studies Association has been "in business" at the University of Maryland for two months as I write this memo. When it appears, the semester will be almost over, the weather may be better, and I will be preparing to report on my activities as Coordinator at the Spring 1978 meeting of the NWSA Coordinating Council.

The outlines of that report are already taking shape.

Editorial, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

Many people continue to inquire about the status and future of women's studies. With this issue we wish to announce that our annual updating of information about academic women's studies programs in the United States is under way. If your program was listed in the issue dated Summer 1977, you will receive an inquiry from us about your 1978 listing. If yours is a new program or a program information, please write to us at once. The deadline for the 1978 program list will be July 1: the information will appear in the Fall issue.

Guest Editorial, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Just a year ago the Women's Studies Newsletter announced the founding of the National Women's Studies Association. The network of a women's studies movement, often visible to its diverse participants only in the forum provided by this journal, had established an organization to support and promote feminist education and all feminists involved in that effort, at every educational level and in every educational setting. In this issue, NWSA announces the opening of its national office at the University of Maryland/College Park and my appointment as Coordinator.

Like those whose task it has been to coordinate women's studies programs or projects …

The Iwy Conference At Houston: Implications For Women's Studies, Elizabeth Baer, Dora Janeway Odarenko

Women's Studies Quarterly

By this time numerous articles have detailed the tensions, excitement, and apprehensions of the days preceding Houston—and even the curiously flat feeling of the evening before the opening session of this first federally mandated National Women's Conference. The press has reported with varying detail significant moments of the four-day weekend, such as passage of the resolutions on the Equal Rights Amendment, on Reproductive Freedom, and on Sexual Preference. There have been analyses of the impressively disciplined Pro-Plan Caucus, formed by heads of eleven delegations who were determined to facilitate passage of the twenty-six-plank proposed National Plan of Action within the …

A Note On Women's Studies At Houston, Phyllis Palmer

Women's Studies Quarterly

The National Women's Studies Association and the Women's Studies Program at George Washington University formally sponsored a series of discussions held in Seneca Falls South, the program and public assembly area of the National Women's Conference, under the title Finding Our History: Studies in American Women. The discussions, which were scheduled hourly during the day on Saturday and Sunday, were led by members of various women's studies programs and covered a range of academic issues, from "Lesbianism and Women's Studies" to "Welfare Women" and "The Economics of Discrimination." The sessions were centered around a library that included both monograph and …

Facts About Women In Higher Education, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Women's Equity Action League Educational and Legal Defense Fund, 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20005, recently released a report (July 1977) on the progress women have and have not made toward equal rights and opportunities in American colleges and universities. What follows is the first half of that report. The second half will appear in our next issue.

Discrimination against women is alive and well on the nation's campuses.

Some gains have been made. We document them, as well as the losses, in this fact sheet. More women than ever before are going to college and …

Closeup On Women's Studies Courses: Women's Image: An Interdisciplinary Introductory Course, Nancy Schniedewind

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Image: Myth and Reality, the introductory course in the Women's Studies Program at the State University College, New Paltz, provides an experience that concurrently maintains a network among women faculty on campus and exposes students to women's studies. It encourages students to reflect on their personal experiences as they study the images of women in society.

An Alternative Policy For Obtaining Cadaver Organs For Transplantation, James L. Muyskens

Publications and Research

Two moral principles have been basic to the legal decisions concerning the rights and duties toward the newly dead. They are the duty to give decent burial and the denial to anyone of a right to ownership of the dead body for commercial profit. The next-of-kin-rather than the church or the state­ have come to bear the primary responsibility for providing decent burial.

The familial duty to give decent burial has come to be understood as a legal right to determine what is to be done to the body in the interval between death and burial.

Armed with this right, …

On Teaching A Feminist Writing Workshop, Francine Krasno

Women's Studies Quarterly

What is a feminist writing workshop? Is it a group of writers who share certain political beliefs? Is it an all-female group? Is it a workshop in which one's writing is labeled "feminist"? What is feminist writing anyway?

Feminist writing has as many definitions as the phrase "women's movement," but I will explain what it means to me. Feminist writing makes a conscious attempt to show the lives of women as women see them, not as reflections of male fantasies or sexist myths; feminist writing uses language in new ways, considers the oppressive ways it has been used and changes …

Women's Studies Quarterly

Remember that ludicrous question, "Why are there no great women artists"? As we strolled through "Women Artists: 1550-1950," a show at New York's Brooklyn Museum this month, we kept asking ourselves another question—where have all these paintings been? Hidden, lost, obscured in some cases for centuries, they have now been gathered by Ann Sutherland Harris and Linda Nochlin, many from private collections, others from the holdings of some of the best museums here and abroad. Harris and Nochlin deserve praise for the care with which they selected work of both high quality and extraordinary variety. We longed only for …

Finding And Studying Lesbian Culture, Toni Mcnaron

Women's Studies Quarterly

On a Wednesday afternoon in the dead of winter, twelve lesbians met to begin a six-week exploration of our culture. Our most immediate and persistent awareness was lack of precedent; our sense of breaking new ground added excitement and urgency to all our meetings . We felt a deep frustration at how hard it is to "study" something for the first time. Out of our experience together, we want to share what we found, and, even more, our process . We hope this process may serve as a model from which others can begin their investigations within their own communities. …
