Women's Studies In West Germany: Community Vs. Academy, Tobe Levin

Women's Studies Quarterly

Rape, abortion, homes for battered women—these would appear to be the issues of paramount concern to West German feminists at the present time. But high on the list of priorities for 1978 has also been the question of women's studies, a subject of passionate, often bitter debate in recent months, with sides clearly drawn between proponents of differing allegiances. As in the United States, but with sharp differences, the discussion in West Germany focuses on the relationships among women's studies, the women's movement, and the community.

Activists here have been debating the proposed establishment of a "Women's Research Institute" at …

"Mrs. K.": Oral History Of A Korean Picture Bride, Alice Y. Chai

Women's Studies Quarterly

Introduction

In 1923, Mrs. K., a nineteen-year-old picture bride-to-be, left a small mountain village in Kyong-sang province, Korea, to marry a forty-five-year-old Korean immigrant who awaited her arrival in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now seventy-five years old, Mrs. K. has spent fifty-five years of her life as a resident of the island of Oahu.

For Mrs. K., one of the 101 remaining out of 1,000 Korean picture brides who came to Hawaii between 1910 and 1924, life in Hawaii followed a similar pattern to that of other picture brides. She worked alongside her husband at an army laundry service; then she ran …

Big Ten Forms Women's Studies Permanent Consortium, Gayle Graham Yates

Women's Studies Quarterly

A permanent standing panel on women's studies was established early in 1978 within the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the consortium of chief academic officers of the Big Ten universities* plus the University of Chicago. This action has considerable symbolic significance, for it means the official recognition of women's studies as an emerging academic field by the constituent universities of the CIC, which has regular meetings of various academic officers—academic vice presidents, liberal arts deans, etc.—of the member universities. The practical significance of this action is that now twice-yearly meetings of coordinators or representatives of women's studies in that group …

Exhibits At The Convention, Nanette Bruckner

Women's Studies Quarterly

Nearly 100 registered exhibitors utilized 72 reserved tables at NWSA's First Convention. In addition, five "free tables" allowed for the spontaneous participation of countless other individuals and organizations. In many respects, the displays area was a busy microcosm of the larger Convention. Exhibitors ranged in size from an independent poet showing her solitary book of verses to a large publishing house displaying more than 100 titles in women's studies. Books included scholarly anthologies and "pop" paperbacks. Indeed, almost every idea endemic to women's studies could be found somewhere. Several political organizations also reserved space to share their concerns, and a …

Emma Willard: Feminist, Anne Firor Scott

Women's Studies Quarterly

Anne Firor Scott gave the Cum Laude Address at the Emma Willard School (originally the Troy Seminary) in May 1978. We have cut the lecture only slightly to fit our space and audience. It is, as she wrote to us, "an example of trying to persuade a group of students to look at the past of their own institution, and learn from it." "I gathered," Scott added, "that the students were expecting some kind of high-minded exhortation, and were pleasantly surprised."

West German Feminist Book Publishers, Mary Grunwald

Women's Studies Quarterly

Feminist publishers are the sensation in the German book trade. Fifteen participated in the October 1978 Frankfurt Book Fair—up from five at the previous year's fair; but even five had created a stir in the establishment. The entire phenomenon has sprung up in four years, a measure of the great accomplishment of the women's movement in a society that, compared to that of the United States or England, holds women in open contempt.

Far and away the biggest, most stunningly successful enterprise is the Frauenoffensive Verlag in Munich. Its rise to a snug place among established publishers was aided by …

Letter From The Road... At Oberlin College, Midway Point..., Margaret Randall

Women's Studies Quarterly

For three months last fall, Margaret Randall, American-born writer now resident in Cuba and well known for her bestselling Women in Cuba, toured more than 40 U.S. campuses. She began in mid-September at the universities of New Mexico and Arizona, and San Francisco State University, and concluded in late November at M.I.T., Wellesley, and Amherst. Her tour, coordinated by Phyllis Vine, historian at Sarah Lawrence College, testifies to the women's studies community's concern about feminism internationally, and to a broad campus interest in Cuba. At Oberlin, Randall, never a college student herself, taught a one-credit, one-week-long intensive course to 45 …

Brief, A-Mazing Movements: Dealing With Despair In The Women's Studies Classroom, Cheri Register

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's studies majors at the University of Minnesota are required to take two quarters of a course called Women's Studies Seminar some time in their junior or senior year. While the theme of the seminar varies from quarter to quarter , its underlying purpose is constant: "to allow students to direct knowledge and methodology gained from courses and experience toward topics of an interdisciplinary nature with a focus on women." The variant that I taught in the fall of 1978 was called Feminist Learning: The University and Beyond. Its intent was to help students become conscious of the learning process …

The photographs are compelling, and the text does not allow you to put the book down until you have read it from cover to cover. The six countries are Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Mexico; and the voices are women's: "Now go back and tell."

Was The Glass Half Empty Or Half Full? A Report On Prek-12 At Kansas, Anne Chapman

Women's Studies Quarterly

Most people are familiar with the multistable image: what you look at remains the same but your perception of it changes. Some people have trouble "seeing" the alternative image, until it is pointed out to them; thereafter, their vision will switch between the two images.

For preK-12 teachers, the NWSA Convention was an experience in multistability. Nine sessions listed in the program dealt specifically with curriculum, methods, and approaches at the precollege level; and seven were actually held. Most were scheduled when public school teachers were free to attend. A few drew audiences of nearly twenty people. Yet of the …

"Going National" Together, Ann Fitzgerald

Women's Studies Quarterly

...At the Bernice Reagon/Meg Christian concert on Friday evening, a young KU woman sitting beside me asked, pointing to the audience: "Do you all teach women's studies?" I hesitated, choosing my words carefully: "We are all women's studies educators with both of those terms taken in the widest sense. We represent...." I stopped, realizing that I could not say that we represent the various professions, though in a technical sense some of us did. I stopped, because in the aggregate it was not true; most of us had not come together to represent either professional or institutional affiliations. I was …

Lesbian Research Projects, Charlotte Criste

Women's Studies Quarterly

As a new member of NWSA, I was unprepared for but delighted by the number and quality of the lesbian-centered sessions. At Kansas, lesbian culture was not only superficially acknowledged, but validated and treated with respect as a significant aspect of women's studies.

The Friday morning panel, "Voices of the Lesbian Community: A Workshop on Researching, Archiving, and Teaching," presented a wealth of images. From the Cambridge Women's Center, we heard Chris Czernik report on a teacher's responsibility to include all aspects of women's culture in her courses: "If I am doing an introductory section on AfroAmerican women," Czernik noted, …

International Programming, Peg Strobel

Women's Studies Quarterly

The NWSA took several important steps in international programming at its First Convention. Those participating in sessions included women from Argentina, Britain, Ghana, Holland, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Senegal, and Zanzibar. Three national leaders of the All China Women's Federation of the People's Republic of China spent a day touring the Convention. But more important than the mere presence of foreign visitors were the information and issues generated by an international perspective.

In the first place, the Convention provided a forum for exchange of information. International sessions covered such topics as the educational needs of immigrant women in capitalist systems; …
