Administering A Women's Studies Program, Juanita H. Williams

Women's Studies Quarterly

The essay that follows answers some of the questions posed in last issue's Editorial. It was first read at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association in August 1973. Comments in the form of correspondence or essays will be welcome.

The Women's Studies Program at the University of South Florida completed its first full year of operation in August 1973; and concomitantly, I concluded my first year as an administrator of the Program. Is administering a women's studies program any different from administering a history or an economics department? In some respects not. All department chairpersons and program directors …

Any Change In Sexist Texts? Feminist Press Staff Survey Education Publishers, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Are American publishers planning to do anything about the sexist bias found in their textbooks?

In order to answer this question, two Feminist Press staff members—Merle Froschl and Phyllis Arlow—conducted interviews this spring with 37 representatives of 15 New York educational publishers encompassing (with their subsidiaries and divisions) more than 200 educational publishers.

The study followed a more comprehensive investigation by Feminist Press staff of the state of sexism in the high school English and social studies curriculum. This larger study, initiated in September 1973, was conducted with the help of a generous planning grant from the Rockefeller Family Fund.

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.

Review Of Hillbilly Women By Kathy Kahn, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

HILLBILLY WOMEN by Kathy Kahn (Doubleday, 1973: $7.95) "tells what it means to be a woman when you are poor, when you are proud, and when you are a hillbilly." This book focuses on women who are usually left out of feminist discussions of oppression: poor and working class white women who live in the Southern Mountain region.

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.

Review Of Fragment From A Lost Diary And Other Stories: Women Of Asia, Africa, And Latin America By Naomi Katz, Nancy Milton, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

FRAGMENT FROM A LOST DIARY AND OTHER STORIES: WOMEN OF ASIA, AFRICA, AND LATIN AMERICA, edited by Naomi Katz and Nancy Milton (Pantheon, 1973: $10.00), contains twenty powerful stories (one of them in verse) thematically organized to catch the changing lives of women, chiefly in Asia (eleven stories) and Africa (seven stories). Such lives are bound not only to marriage, family, custom, and poverty, but to struggles for freedom in resistance movements above and below ground.

Review Of The Feminist Papers: From Adams To De Beauvoir By Alice S. Rossi, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

THE FEMINIST PAPERS: FROM ADAMS TO DE BEAUVOIR, edited by Alice S. Rossi (Columbia University Press, 1973: $12.95; Bantam, 1974: $1.95), will be welcomed as a text by teachers and students in need of a single collection of "essential" feminist writing both by theorists and activists. Chronicling the two hundred years of western feminist thought, this 716-page volume is impressive for its inclusiveness: twenty-two writers, plus selections from the History of Woman Suffrage.

A national conference, "Beyond Sexism: Educating Women for the Future," was held November 9, 10, and 11 at Mills College in Oakland, California with the purpose of sharing new ideas and new questions on the future of women's education. Approximately 500 women (and a handful of men), many of them from the California state college and university system, attended the Ford Foundation sponsored conference.

Black Feminists Organize Nationally, Barbara Smith

Women's Studies Quarterly

On Saturday, December 1, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm declared to a jubilant group of listeners: "I am so glad to be here this morning. I said that if there were only six of us here this morning, it would be a beginning." Over four hundred Black women had gathered in New York to hear and applaud Ms. Chisholm as she gave the keynote address for the First Regional Conference of the National Black Feminist Organization.

All of us who were there, despite our abundant numbers and far-flung geographic origins, knew why Ms. Chisholm had anticipated a turnout of under ten. Never …
