Women's Studies Comes To The Military: Reflections On A Pilot Project, Margaret Mcfadden-Gerber

Women's Studies Quarterly

The overseas U.S. military base presents movement women with a complex and essentially hostile environment. The needs of four very different categories of women must be addressed: (1) women in uniform; (2) wives and daughters of servicemen; (3) wives and daughters of civil service employees; and (4) career civil service women. Since the "daughters" form a psychologically distinct group, they perhaps deserve their own niche. The picture is further complicated (and enriched) by the presence of numerous "host country" women who hold down a variety of jobs on base.

The "dependent wife," whether from the second or third category, experiences …

Affirmative Action Under Attack, Sheila Tobias

Women's Studies Quarterly

It is doubtful that serious discussion of Richard A. Lester's book on affirmative action (Antibias Regulations of Universities: Faculty Problems and Their Solutions, McGraw-Hill, 1974) can ever undo the damage caused by the flurry of misleading articles that appeared about the book in the New York Times, Newsweek, and The Chronicle of Higher Education six months ago. "Minority Hiring Said to Hurt Colleges," the New York Times headlined its front-page piece, continuing that minority hiring had caused a "lowering of standards and an undermining of faculty quality." Readers were left to assume that Lester had hard …

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 …

Women's History Library Closes, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Women's History Research Center Library permanently closed on September 30, 1974. Known as the Women's History Library, it served as the only international archive of the contemporary women's movement since 1968. The Library contained both movement and non-movement information on women in a variety of forms: newsclippings, journals, autobiographies, biographies, diaries, pamphlets, women's studies course outlines, newsletters, newspapers, and magazines. Two collections of great importance were the women's serials (The International Women's History Periodical Archive) and the 2,000 topical files (The Topical Research Library). These collections were recently given away or sold to offset debts. They were transferred to, …

Sexism In The Social Work Curriculum, Mary C. Schwartz

Women's Studies Quarterly

The purpose of this paper is to examine parts of the social work curriculum in order to discover the various kinds of sexist bias present in the materials used in social work education. My intent is to give a sense of what these sexist biases might be by discussing some concrete illustrations from materials used in two basic social work courses, "human growth and development" and "family casework." The course on human growth and development is supposed to provide part of the crucial knowledge base that a social worker needs in order to formulate a psychosocial diagnosis and treatment plan. …

Why Discuss Men In Sexist Society?, Agate Nesaule Krouse, Barbara Taylor Desmarais

Women's Studies Quarterly

Can we ever stop worrying about men? When we teach women's studies courses, work with women's caucuses in professional organizations, or speak to various groups about feminism, we often do more than our duty. In addition to dealing with the problems of of women, we also consider those of men. Recently, however, both of us have begun re-evaluating our efforts. Our experience with a particularly bothersome workshop, "Women and Men in Sexist Society," started us thinking.

As co-chairwomen of the Midwest Women's Caucus for the Modern Languages, we were responsible for organizing five workshops for the 1973 Midwest Modern Language …

Teaching In The Community Classroom, Toni Mester

Women's Studies Quarterly

Despite academic chauvinism in women's studies, it is possible to teach off-campus and get paid. As an hourly instructor in women's literature for the San Francisco Community College District, I have been able to help raise feminist consciousness in the community and draw a part-time professional wage. I created my job myself, although I share its economic insecurity with hundreds of other "hourlies" in local community colleges. The benefits—flexibility, autonomy, and student variety—may encourage others to seek or invent similar work.

In 1968, with an M.A. in English, teaching credentials, and not much hope of teaching in the job-tight Bay …

Evaluating A Women's Studies Course, Joan Borod, Susan Dorsky, Carol Hull, Ellen Keller

Women's Studies Quarterly

Some fifty women attended the first Women's Studies Evaluation Conference in June 1973, at Wesleyan University. About half had previously taught women's studies courses. Literature and the social sciences were heavily represented; there were no hard scientists. We came with questions about the value, even the possibility, of evaluating women's studies courses and programs. We wondered whether any measuring technique could isolate one class as the cause of change in a student. We questioned social science methodology, and we speculated about possible alternative methodologies.

Self-Portrait: Feminist Dean, Adrian Tinsley

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following was a presentation at the Modern Language Association's convention in December 1973, under the heading, "Life Styles of Academic Women." We hope to print other portraits in future issues.

The token number of women in administration is increasing in a token way, at least in state and land-grant universities, according to a report from the National Association of Universities and Land-Grant Colleges. Eight hundred and sixty-four women held major administrative positions in 1972-73; while two years earlier, in 1970-71, sixty percent of the state universities and land-grant colleges surveyed had no women administrators who met the criteria of …

Women's Studies At Suny/Albany, June E. Hahner

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's studies at the State University of New York at Albany began in the fall of 1971 with a course on Women in Modern Literature offered through the School of General Studies. The following fall the faculty Women's Caucus at SUNY/Albany formed a subcommittee to develop a women's studies program, which by the spring of 1973 offered an undergraduate minor. We now face new decisions.

News From The Campus, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

On the basis of our travels and correspondence, we can say with confidence that new women's studies programs continue to be organized. At Western Michigan University, for instance, at Oberlin, at Ohio State University (from which we receive the excellent library bi-monthly, Women are Human), at Kent State University, at Case-Western Reserve University, at St. Olaf College, at the University of Texas/Arlington, there are official or unofficial faculty women's studies committees working this year either on the writing of a formal proposal or on its implementation. At two eastern women's colleges—Wheaton and Simmons—a lecture series will focus on aspects …

Michele Murray (1934-1974), The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Feminist, novelist, poet, and critic, Michele Murray died of cancer on March 14, at the age of 40. Book editor for the National Observer, she also published a fine literary anthology, A House of Good Proportion: Images of Women in Literature, and two children's books, Nellie Cameron and The Crystal Nights (see review in Women's Studies Newsletter, Vol. II, no. 1 ). She was an early and warm friend of The Feminist Press. We print below most of a letter she wrote in response to our first News/Notes in the fall of 1971.
