A Journalist's Personal View Of The Nwsa Convention, Ann Colbert

Women's Studies Quarterly

For me, the National Women's Studies Association Convention this May was many things: for me as an Indiana University News Bureau writer, it was a chance to generate publicity both about the Convention and about the university; for me as a member of the Women's Studies Program Coordinating Committee, it was the culmination of a great deal of hard work which began last fall and continued through the Convention; for me as a returning woman student, it was an affirmation of much that had helped me grow into an effective human being. When asked to write about the Convention, I …

The Astraea Foundation: A New Resource For Women, Nancy Dean

Women's Studies Quarterly

In 1977 a group of 12 women from New York and Connecticut formed The Astraea Foundation to support the efforts of women to develop economic independence and foster personal well-being. The by-laws establish the Foundation as multiracial and multiethnic; its Central Board as at least 5O percent minority in membership; and its aim to provide financial assistance to those who have little access to funding. Now incorporated and tax exempt, the Foundation has completed its first disbursement cycle, awarding 55,000 to groups from the Northeast region of the country who fulfill its multiracial, multiethnic, and feminist criteria.

A Report On Research Sessions At The 1980 Nwsa Convention, Charol Shakeshaft

Women's Studies Quarterly

I cannot stress how important for . . . the future of human experience it is to take the development and explication of a feminine perspective in ... research seriously and to devote all our talents and energies collectively to its accomplishment. -Jane Anton

As research on women has increased, researchers have become increasingly concerned about how appropriate the existing research methodologies are for the study of women. In one of the earliest critiques, Rae Carlson argued that current research paradigms, which she characterized as involving manipulation, quantification, and control, not only impose restraints on the understanding of female psychology, …

Writing It All Down: An Overview Of The Second Nwsa Convention, Catharine R. Stimpson

Women's Studies Quarterly

Few conventions about education have either much cheer or tenderness. Those of the National Women's Studies Association do. In this, too, NWSA is unusual. One of the many good events at the 1980 Convention at Indiana University in Bloomington was a workshop that Frances Doughty of the National Gay Task Force gave. She used letters, photographs, and other archival remnants to portray a "lesbian friendship group," women who were either friends or lovers for thirty years. The audience touched its past with blissful curiosity. Then Doughty told a story about a famous member of the group: Janet Flanner, the writer. …

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

By Elaine Reuben

At the opening session of the 1980 NWSA Convention, Dale Spender urged U.S. feminist educators to educate themselves beyond national boundaries. She called for an extension of our consciousness-raising efforts to understand and appreciate differences within an international feminist movement: for our own sakes, as well as for our sisters around the globe.

In the Spring Newsletter editorial, Florence Howe noted the large questions and hard choices posed by a growing awareness of international developments in women's studies. "Should we be institution-building in the U.S. or helping, advising, missionizing, urging—and learning from—women's studies …

FROM THE STEERING COMMITTEE

Responding to the 1979 charge of the Finance Committee and the Delegate Assembly, the Coordinating Council devoted a major portion of its February 14-17 meeting in College Park to a discussion of finances. The clear intent of all sessions was the consideration of fiscal responsibility in terms of feminist principles and the goals of NWSA.

On February 13, several members of the 1979-80 Finance Committee (Liz Birch, Alice Stadthaus, Barbara Taylor, Mary Thornberry, and Robin Wright) met with the Steering Committee (Pat Gozemba, Jan Meriwether, and Kay Towns); the National Coordinator, Elaine Reuben; the National Staff …

Teaching Women's History To Men In Prison, Diane Tarmy Rudnick, Sayre Phillips Sheldon

Women's Studies Quarterly

"To me, real feminism means working together with other people to try to change the balance of power and wealth, working for everybody's right to human dignity."—Inmate at Massachusetts Correctional Institute, Norfolk

With all the problems of getting women's history accepted in traditional institutions, why try to introduce it in an environment that we could expect to be unsympathetic? The idea, when it was first suggested to us, sounded improbable.

As we discussed it, possibilities began to emerge. We were each giving courses at Boston University on women's history in America: one emphasizing the economic and social aspects, the …

Introduction To Women's Studies: New Textbook Being Developed At Hunter College, Nancy Dean, Sarah B. Pomeroy

Women's Studies Quarterly

The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a grant to the Women's Studies Program of Hunter College for the writing of a textbook and instructional manual for the basic course, "Introduction to Women's Studies." Unlike other comprehensive women's studies textbooks which are described as multidisciplinary but are actually collections of individual chapters, each written from the perspective of a single discipline, Hunter's books will be thoroughly interdisciplinary, with each chapter written collectively.

The nine authors, from four divisions of the college—Humanities and the Arts, Social Sciences, and the professional schools of Nursing and Education—are: Ulku Bates, Nancy Dean, Florence …

Your Mind — Use It Or Lose It: Women's Studies In A Nursing Home, Dorothy Kilton

The following article, an example of student work, was sent in by Anne R. Barrett, Coordinator of the Women's Studies Nursing Home Education Project sponsored by the Women's Studies Program at the University of New Hampshire. Written by one of the elderly participants in the project, the essay, Barrett feels, "captures the spirit of our program most eloquently."

Barrett reports that she and her colleagues "are absolutely delighted with the outcome of the project. It is even more successful than we had originally anticipated. The average age of our students is 87, and we have added a new course this …

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Research Methods in Women's Studies" is a two-credit-hour, 300-level course taught in the School of Library and Informational Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia. One objective of this course is to ensure that students become regular, successful users of a library. The other is to introduce them to the wide variety of women's studies resources which are available at UMC and to make them aware of resources in other research collections, some of which may be available through interlibrary loan.

Feminist Publishing In Israel, Marcia Freedman

Women's Studies Quarterly

Israel has a population of 3½ million people who, for the most part, speak, read, and write an ancient, patriarchal language recently revived and fortified by an infusion of new terms and even some new syntactic constructs. The result of this self-imposition of a parochial language upon a people who, as a people, had been at home in at least one European language as well as Yiddish and Ladino, was to transform the People of the Book into a rather ill-informed and culturally isolated society. The few channels of information from the West that do existmainly films and books-are institutionally …

Introducing Manushi: An Indian Feminist Journal, Tobe Levin

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Liquor, the slaying of women and Shudras ... are all minor offences," according to Manu, the Hindu lawgiver. "To rape is human," asserts Mr. Joshi, Chief Minister of the province of Madhya Pradesh.

V. Meera calls on these voices of tradition to open her article, "Prisoners of Inequality: Sexual Abuse of Dalit Women," in an excellent new feminist bimonthly magazine called Manushi: A Journal about Women and Society. Manushi, whose title means "woman" in Hindi, first appeared in January 1979, as the pioneer publication of its kind in India. It is produced in Delhi by an independent feminist collective …

A Note On Jewish Women's Studies In The United States, S. F.

Women's Studies Quarterly

As Israeli feminists attempt to connect with the women's movement outside Israel, Jewish feminists in the United States are attempting to connect with them and with the Jewish heritage both groups share. Due to the peculiarities inherent in that heritage, "Jewish Women's Studies" in the United States is as much in its infancy as feminist publishing in Israel. This past year, however, at the First Annual NWSA Convention, a session on Jewish Women's Studies: Theory and Practice took place, as well as a roundtable discussion on Feminism and Judaism, and a spontaneously organized Shabbat service that was inspiring for those …
