Letter From Alverno College, Sister Joel Read Oct 1973

Letter From Alverno College, Sister Joel Read

Women's Studies Quarterly

In a women's college, it seems to us, it is unnecessary, and in fact redundant, to have a Women's Studies Program. The Faculty Institute on the Education of Women, September 1-2, 1971, sensitized all those responsible for the educational process to the particular needs, interests, socialization effects which women experience.

Closeup: Washington Women's Studies Program, Julie E. Coryell, Mary L. Eysenbach Oct 1973

Closeup: Washington Women's Studies Program, Julie E. Coryell, Mary L. Eysenbach

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women Studies started at the University of Washington in 1970, the year of expansion of the war into Cambodia, the Kent State killings, and national demonstrations. In Washington, 1970 was also the year of the successful campaign for liberal abortion reforms, and at UW the beginning of agitation for university-sponsored child care facilities. Women had grown increasingly aware of the university's discrimination against them in employment and curriculum. Three women initiated the first course. Innocently titled "Women 101," it surveyed the role of women in social history, psychology, literature, art, public media, work, sexuality, race, law. The course helped build …

Foundation Grants To Women's Groups, Marjorie Fine Knowles Oct 1973

Foundation Grants To Women's Groups, Marjorie Fine Knowles

Women's Studies Quarterly

The issues women's groups present when they come to seek foundation grants often open up areas for discussion that literally strike uncomfortably close to home; they are often challenging cherished assumptions about the patriarchal family and the educational system which nourishes it. They come seeking funding for a new academic discipline called "women's studies"; or for support of litigation to abolish the sex discrimination which, foundation executives are shocked to discover, pervades our legal system. Outraged groups of mothers can document, and want to challenge, the sexism in textbooks and children's television. Women of all races want support to develop …

What Happened At Sacramento, Deborah Rosenfelt Oct 1973

What Happened At Sacramento, Deborah Rosenfelt

Women's Studies Quarterly

There it is—the cleavage in purpose and ideology that ran like a crack in the earth through the activities of the Women's Conference at Sacramento in May, appropriately called "Women's Studies and Feminism: Survival in the 1970's." The conference brought together—so to speak—some 700 women from throughout the western states for three long days of speeches, workshops, programs—and confrontations. So the work of the conference was carried out, really, on two levels: the usual conference activities of meeting, talking, listening, exchanging information and ideas; and that other, more complex, more difficult business of coping with this polarization of attitude and …

Review Of La Mujer: En Pie De Lucha, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

LA MUJER: EN PIE DE LUCHA, edited by Dorinda Moreno (Espina del Norte, San Francisco, 1973: paper, $8.50), should please those teachers who have felt the lack of materials by and about Latin women. The book has ten chapters: four on Chicanas; one on other Third World women in North America; one on women in Mexico, one on Cuban women, and one on women in other Latin American countries.

Women In Law, Anne Trebilcock Oct 1973

Women In Law, Anne Trebilcock

Women's Studies Quarterly

With women entering law in record numbers, law school curricula are changing to include a feminist perspective. Yet a great need remains for more feminist attorneys, jurists, and legislators. While law has lent itself to abuse by oppressive forces, it can be an aid in the liberation of women and other underrepresented groups. But isn't the problem of too few women lawyers taking care of itself? Granted, the female percentage of law students nationwide has more than doubled in the last five years. In the fall of 1972, 12,172 women were enrolled in 149 American Bar Association approved law schools. …

Do-It-Ourselves Curriculum Materials, The Feminist Press Oct 1973

Do-It-Ourselves Curriculum Materials, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following notes, prepared by J. J. Wilson, reflect the Women's Studies Program at Sonoma State College, Rohnert Park, Calif. 94928. In our Women's Biography course one afternoon, discussion turned to the kinds of questions we wanted biographies of women to answer—for example, what do women fear most? We decided to begin immediately by asking those questions of ourselves. For twenty minutes the whole class wrote. A loving sister, not ashamed to admit to her secretarial skills, took these papers home and typed them onto dittos; someone else ran them off; others collated them. We could then begin to answer …

Review Of Images Of Women In Fiction: Feminist Perspectives, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

IMAGES OF WOMEN IN FICTION: FEMINIST PERSPECTIVES, edited by Susan Koppelman Cornillon (Popular Press, Bowling Green, 1972: paper, $4.00), gathers some of the best examples of feminist literary criticism, grouping them in four categories: the woman as heroine (traditional views), the invisible woman (the woman as "other"), the woman as hero (women as whole people), and feminist aesthetics.

How It Works Out: The Women's Studies Graduate, Nancy Jo Hoffman Jul 1973

How It Works Out: The Women's Studies Graduate, Nancy Jo Hoffman

Women's Studies Quarterly

We're all so busy developing our own women's studies programs, creating new curriculum, hassling over funding, over internal governance and community-related programs, that most of us rarely have time to ask how women's studies affects the work lives of students once they leave the university for full-time participation in the real anti-feminist world. But a program that has been functioning for several years produces graduates: what are they up to? Historically, women in America have been the temporaries in the labor force—though one can be temporary 40 hours a week, for 40 years of one's life. Has women's studies begun …

Mechanisms Of Lysosomal Enzyme Release From Human Leukocytes, Robert B. Zurier, Sylvia Hoffstein, Gerald Weissmann Jul 1973

Mechanisms Of Lysosomal Enzyme Release From Human Leukocytes, Robert B. Zurier, Sylvia Hoffstein, Gerald Weissmann

Publications and Research

In order to study mechanisms underlying selective enzyme release from human leukocytes during phagocytosis, the effects were studied of compounds which affect microtubule integrity or the accumulation of cyclic nucleotides. Human leukocytes selectively extrude lysosomal enzymes (β-glucuronidase) from viable cells during phagocytosis of zymosan or immune complexes, or upon encounter with immune complexes dispersed along a non-phagocytosable surface such as a millipore filter. In each circumstance, lysosomal enzyme release was reduced by previous treatment of cells with pharmacological doses of drugs which disrupt microtubules (e.g. 10-3–10-5 M colchicine) or with agents which affect accumulation of adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cAMP) (e.g. 10-3 …

The Histones Associated With Condensed And Extended Chromatin Of Mouse Liver, Carol Johmann, Ronald A. Eckhardt, Martin A. Gorovsky Jul 1973

The Histones Associated With Condensed And Extended Chromatin Of Mouse Liver, Carol Johmann, Ronald A. Eckhardt, Martin A. Gorovsky

Publications and Research

Histones were extracted from isolated mouse liver nuclei, and from mouse liver condensed and extended chromatin. Mouse liver histones were found to be very similar to those of calf thymus in their solubility properties, relative electrophoretic mobilities, and molecular weights as determined on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. Quantitative analysis by high-resolution gel electrophoresis demonstrated a remarkable similarity between the histones of condensed chromatin and those of extended chromatin. However, minor differences were found. A unique subspecies was found only in condensed chromatin histone and the relative amounts of fractions F2A1 and F2A2 differed in the two types of chromatin. The ratio of …

Closeup: Hawaii's Women's Studies Program, Doris M. Ladd, Dorothy Stein, Marilyn Harman, Judith Gething, Anne Kauka, Mirella Belshe, Donna Haraway, Joan Abramson

Women's Studies Quarterly

As the University of Hawaii seeks to cut its budget and its position count, Women's Studies at the Manoa campus can only hope that its modest requirements, low profile, absence of an administrative head, and experience in developing within the most precarious of situations may allow it to survive. None of the faculty have tenure; only two out of eight have career ladder positions; three of our faculty will not know until late summer whether they have even part-time jobs; one has been fired; and the rest have job security for one more year.

Textbook Suit Filed In Kalamazoo, The Feminist Press Jul 1973

Textbook Suit Filed In Kalamazoo, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

On May 31, the Committee to Study Sex Discrimination in the Kalamazoo Public Schools filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare under Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. The complaint alleges that the 12 textbooks of the Houghton Mifflin Elementary Reading Program, recently adopted by the Kalamazoo Public Schools which will be in use for the next 5 years, discriminate against girls and women. A preliminary study of the textbooks showed them to be objectionable because of sex role stereotyping and an unfair portrayal of the performance and potential of women.

Ninth Grader Calls Math Book 'Sexist', The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

[The following story is reprinted by permission from the Superintendent's Bulletin, Montgomery County (Md.) Public Schools.] An enterprising ninth grader [Ms. Ann MacArthur] at Montgomery Hills Junior High has analyzed her algebra book and denounced it as "sexist." In a lengthy memo to her principal, Nathan P. Pearson, she recommends that the book [Modern Algebra: Structure and Method, Book I by Mary Dolciani, Simon L. Berman, Julius Frelich, Albert E. Mider (Houghton-Mifflin, 1962)] be replaced before it causes any more "mind pollution." Her premise is based on a detailed analysis of the word problems in her ninth grade algebra book, …

Women's Studies Quarterly

In the fall of 1973, the College of New Rochelle will offer an interdisciplinary major in Women's Studies. Student and faculty enthusiasm and a sympathetic administration have made possible the rapid expansion of the program from two courses in the fall of 1971 to eight courses this year. By the fall of next year, eight departments will participate in the program through course offerings, and tutorials will be available in five other departments.

Wesleyan Conference Considers How To Evaluate Women's Studies, Sheila Tobias, Lorelei Brush, Alice Gold Jul 1973

Wesleyan Conference Considers How To Evaluate Women's Studies, Sheila Tobias, Lorelei Brush, Alice Gold

Women's Studies Quarterly

What is the general impact of women's studies? Is our investment in women's studies courses the best way to improve the higher education of women? Concerned and curious about these questions, a group of Wesleyan University faculty began in March 1973 to look into the possibility of evaluating women's studies. After preliminary discussion and research, the group decided to invite teachers of women's studies to meet with social scientists knowledgeable about evaluative research to raise the question of evaluation. With the assistance of the Ford Foundation, which made a small grant available for preliminary conferences, a meeting was held on …

Tillie Olsen's Reading List Iii Women: A List Out Of Which To Read, Tillie Olsen Jul 1973

Tillie Olsen's Reading List Iii Women: A List Out Of Which To Read, Tillie Olsen

Women's Studies Quarterly

MOST WOMEN'S LIVES (continued) MOTHERING AND WIFEHOOD: Mothering (as distinguished from Motherhood) and Wifehood are rarely a major or even minor part of literature, although women have always been defined by them, and they are the major part of most women's lives. Women's courses do not know, or do not understand, the necessity of including the relatively few works that tell something of what mothering and/or wifehood mean.

A New Inservice Training Model: Sf Conference/Course On School Sexism, Laurie Olsen Johnson Jul 1973

A New Inservice Training Model: Sf Conference/Course On School Sexism, Laurie Olsen Johnson

Women's Studies Quarterly

A conference/course, "The Hidden Curriculum: Discovering and Overcoming School Sexism," was offered through the University of California Extension Division, San Francisco, in the spring of 1973. The course, two intensive weekends with intervening work weeks, was planned and administered by Wendy Roberts and Miriam Wasserman. Thirty-five resource people ran the workshops, and many of them helped to plan the course. Sixty-five female and male educators, parents, and concerned others attended. The course was given through an established teacher-education institution for a number of reasons: it provided a guaranteed, though small, amount of money for running the course and the facilities …
