Women's Studies In The High Schools, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

[This article has been adapted from the introduction to High School Feminist Studies, available from The Feminist Press for $5 plus 50¢ postage.]

The high school years are critical for the future of females and males alike, not only for what they enable students to understand about human relations between women and men and among members of families, but also for what they enable students to envision of the world of work. For many students, these are the last years of required schooling, the years preceding important choices: marriage, vocation or college. Half don't or can't choose college; and …

Grass Roots Women's Studies: Wisconsin Women In The Arts, Estella Lauter

Women's Studies Quarterly

By lucky accident, in September 1974 I saw a brochure announcing a conference to be held that October in Lacrosse, Wisconsin-a city 250 miles across the state. After I rubbed my eyes and looked again, the brochure still said that Elizabeth Janeway and Miriam Schapiro would be the featured speakers. Although I knew nothing about the brand new sponsoring organization, Wisconsin Women in the Arts (WWIA). I resolved to attend. I had assigned Janeway's book in my course that fall and I knew Schapiro by reputation, though I had never seen even a print of her painting, and I had …

The Maimie Letters, Patricia M. King

Women's Studies Quarterly

Relevance in history today is often identified with the discovery of the history of the nonelite classes, those men, women and children of the past who belonged to the vast but inarticulate majority. With the aid of the computer, the scanty evidence: birth, marriage and death dates in town, county or church registers; addresses in city directories; and entries in hospital, prison and census records is yielding information on the economic and social conditions, geographic mobility, and marriage and childbearing patterns of the lives of those who hitherto have been silent because they left no traditional written sources for historical …

Grass Roots Women's Studies: The Nashua, New Hampshire Area, Jeannine Dobbs

Women's Studies Quarterly

While the rest of the state is still dependent on tourists, textiles, apples and chickens, southern New Hampshire looks and sounds more like Massachusetts, especially suburban Boston. Nashua, New Hampshire exemplifies the border communities: Massachusetts is a ten-minute drive from downtown; 20 percent of Nashua's labor force commutes to jobs in Massachusetts (most to Lowell, Boston, the Route 128 industrial belt or Boston suburbs) ; another 20 percent commutes to Nashua jobs from homes in Massachusetts.

Nashua is the state's second largest city (population 63,000), and it is growing rapidly. A number of bedroom communities (Hudson, Amherst, Hollis, Merrimack and …

Intervention In Sex-Role Socialization, Sandra Stotsky

Women's Studies Quarterly

The teacher had assigned Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink to a reading group in her fifth grade classroom. That evening an irate parent, a local police officer, telephoned the teacher at home demanding to know why his son was reading a "girl's book." When he was assured that his son could substitute another book for the class assignment, the matter was smoothed over. Several days later, with his mother's encouragement, the boy had begun to read the story and confessed to the teacher that it really was a good story—even if Caddie was a girl! This incident, the only …

News From Spain, Phyllis Zatlin Boring

Jornadas Catalanes de la Dona. More than 2000 women representing 100 organizations in northeastern Spain participated in a four-day women's meeting at the end of May, the first such conference to be held in Barcelona during the 40-year period since the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Topics of discuss ion during the much-publicized meetings included women in the workforce, women and the family, women and politics, women and education, women and the law, women and sexuality. One point made in the conference was that women had greater legal equality during the period preceding the war than they have …

New Curricular Focus In Women's Studies Programs, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

In a year during which we have read each week of cutbacks in some college or univers ity system, it is heartening to be able to report that the growth of women's studies has continued at least at its previous rate. No programs have been lost. We seem to have reached no plateau—the growth is still accelerating slightly. While in the previous 18 months (from the summer of 1973 until December 1974) 37 new programs were announced, in the past 12 months, 40 new programs have appeared. Perhaps more important than the continued rise in the number of programs is …
