Corrections: Regional Women's Studies Associates, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

We made a mistake in our reporting on the Northwest Women's Studies Association in our Spring 1976 issue ("Regional Women's Studies Associations," page 2). The NWSA was formally organized in January 1976 (not fall 1975) when representatives from schools in Oregon and Washington met and approved a statement of purpose and set current definitions and goals.

Living/Learning In Women's Studies, Judith Ann Sturnick

Women's Studies Quarterly

You may never have heard of Capital University (2500 students, affiliated with the American Lutheran Church), but I can introduce the character of our campus very quickly: located in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, founded 125 years ago and drawing the majority of its students from Ohio. Befitting its loca tion in this conservative area of the Midwest, the campus too is highly conservative. Nevertheless, in this environment a sustained and dedicated effort has been going on for the past four years to bring a feminist perspective to our campus, to encourage and keep feminist students and to develop a …

Librarians Adopt Proposal On Sexism, Racism, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The American Library Association's (ALA) centennial convention, held in Chicago, July 1976, and attended by 18,000 librarians, will go down in history as a victory in the battle against sexist and racist attitudes in the library world. The Council on Interracial Books for Children (CIBC) distributed more than 5,000 copies of its Bulletin (Vol. VII, No. 4) which carried their proposal, "An Action Program for ALA." In the course of the week-long convention, the CIBC proposal for librarian action against racism and sexism evolved into a formal resolution that was voted upon by the membership and adopted as official policy …

Grass Roots Women's Studies: South Carolina, Leslie Todd, Linda Todd

Women's Studies Quarterly

Although big industry is changing South Carolina's standing as a mainly agricultural state, its population is still generally rural—and conservative. Several major corporations have built plants in recent years; the attendant influx of upper middle-class families has created pockets of comparative wealth. Despite these new population clusters, however, the state's educational standards reflect a "small-town" ethos, particularly at the secondary level. Most of South Carolina's liberal arts colleges are located around its more densely populated cities: Columbia (the state capital, located in the center of the state; population approximately 114,000); Greenville (in the northwest corner, population approximately 62,000) and Charleston …

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 …

Planning Continues For The National Founding Convention, Sybil Weir

Women's Studies Quarterly

On June 9, and intermittently throughout the Berkshire Conference at Bryn Mawr College, a Continuations Committee met to plan further aspects of the Founding Convention of the National Women's Studies Association. Each of the regions was represented by at least one person, and in a few cases, two. Despite a heat wave and everybody's end-of-the-semester exhaustion, the good feelings generated at Philadelphia in March continued to sustain us as we realized that the convention and the National Association were indeed becoming a reality.

Margaret Fuller Mystery Continues, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

In the Winter 1976 issue, we challenged our readers to identify the woman in picture one, whom we had incorrectly captioned Margaret Fuller. We have received six entries to date: three identifying the woman as Alice B. Toklas, one identifying her as Helen Keller and two identifying her as Dame Edith Sitwell.

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 …

Letters To The Editor: Coeducation?, Elizabeth Newman

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Ms. Howe,

I am a junior at Hunter College High School, and am taking a social studies course entitled Women in American History. I am working on my term paper for the course American Women in Science and I came across your paper in Women and Success: The Anatomy of Achievement edited by Ruth Kundskin. I was particularly attracted by your suggestion of "separatism" in the schools, a means by which young males and females can meet with members of their own sex for consciousness-raising sessions.

International "Feminology" Conference, Barbara Rubin

Women's Studies Quarterly

[FEMINOLOGY n. 1. a Danish term used for scholarship concerning women's position in society, past and present; 2. an interdisciplinary field of study and research about women]

It was a European first: The Dutch/Scandinavian Symposium on Woman's Position in Society. I stumbled onto the conference plans while researching international feminism in Amsterdam, received an invitation, and soon was en route to the University of Nijmegen, a conservative Dutch institution where women comprise only 23 percent of the student population—an ironic sponsor for a conference whose events would become strongly political and thorny during June 8-11, 1975.
