Women's Centers At The University Of Texas/Arlington: A Model For Growth, Jeanne Ford, Barbara Brown

Women's Studies Quarterly

The University of Texas at Arlington offers unique educational services for women through three administratively separate but collaborating programs that focus on women's interests and needs. These programs, each with its own coordinator, are officially designated as the Center for Women's Studies, the Women's Center, and Transitions: Displaced Homemakers Center.

Women's studies at UTA is not at present a formal program. The courses are offered through receptive academic departments. Women's studies faculty and students are engaged in research, teaching, and learning with an academic orientation and are consultants to and participants in activities at the Women's Center. It is a …

Antebellum Black Coeds At Oberlin College, Ellen Henle, Marlene Merrill

Women's Studies Quarterly

Nearly a year ago, we began collecting information on the first Black women students at Oberlin College from 1835 through 1865. The impetus for this project came from Professor Gerda Lerner, who, on a visit to Oberlin, remarked that she suspected there was considerable material in the Oberlin College archives which could tell us a great deal about women who have been overlooked or ignored. We decided to work as a team researching Black women in the archives: one of us had had some on-the-job archival training; and the other, a recent Ph.D. in nineteenth-century American history, had taught women's …

The Feminist Women's Health Center In West Berlin, Mary Grunwald

Women's Studies Quarterly

Last November the Berlin Feminist Women's Health Center (Feministisches Frauen Gesundheitszentrum: FFGZ) called a press conference to mark the first year in its own quarters, pleasantly converted former bakery premises in a quiet, residential part of town. Fifty invitations had been sent out to women journalists; four showed up. Three reacted enthusiastically; one was hostile. When all was said and done and people were on their way out, someone brought up the subject of contraception again.

Most FFGZ clients come for contraceptive advice; many are primarily interested in the diaphragm—invented in Germany in 1880 but virtually unknown in the country …

MIDWEST REGIONAL REPORT

The Midwest has continued its efforts toward strengthening regional and national membership, adopting a constitution, and planning for the National Convention to be held in our region from May 30 to June 3, 1979, at Lawrence, Kansas . ... At the October steering committee meeting we decided to postpone a regional meeting until after the national meeting .... At the Overland Park, Kansas, steering committee meeting, April 14-15, we had hashed out the state versus regional orientation of the group, taking into account that Iowa had opted not to send a representative. We had also discussed guidelines …

Women's Studies Research Centers: Report From West Germany, Hanna-Beate Schöpp-Schilling

Women's Studies Quarterly

The German autonomous women's movement grew out of the student movement in the late sixties. Today, there are women's centers in most of the larger German cities. The women active in these centers have created a variety of projects, such as homes for battered women, bookstores, publishing firms, restaurants, journals, and health clinics. In addition, there are numerous women's groups in the political parties, the trade unions, the media, and other organizations—apart from the traditional women's organizations—who work for the elimination of discrimination against women without necessarily identifying themselves with all the tenets of radical feminists. A gradual rapprochement of …

Report From The February 4/1/1979 Coordinating Council Meeting, Elizabeth Baer

Women's Studies Quarterly

As regional and caucus representatives gathered for the opening session of the semiannual NWSA Coordinating Council meeting on the College Park campus of the University of Maryland on February 15, they were asked to respond to two questions in introducing themselves: "What is your vision of the future of NWSA?" and "Have you and/or your program paid your 1979 dues?" Juxtaposed, the questions reflected the experience of the organization in its first two years—encompassing the idealism of NWSA's founding and the pragmatic exigencies of supporting national organization. The questions, asked and answered on Susan B. Anthony's birthday, began a meeting …

Awakenings: Developing A Regional Identity Through Women's Writings, Sally Brett

Women's Studies Quarterly

Before you can write about a Civil War mother's letters to her son or edit the courtship letters of a young Tarboro woman, you have first to find the letters. For some researchers, this means finding people—informants—and then, hopefully, the family manuscripts in the attic or barn or cupboard. For my class, I took a different—some might say easier—route: I identified manuscripts of interest in the university's manuscript collection. Actually, that is not as easy as it sounds. Most manuscripts come from prominent men of the region. Thus the emphasis of cataloguing falls on male activities—and male names. What you …

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 …

Daughters And Housework, Laraine Burns, Louis Kampf

Women's Studies Quarterly

Laraine Burns (a pseudonym, as are the other names in the essay below) took my course in Marxism while a senior premedical student at M.I.T. She was one of only two women in the class; the only Black person; the only student from anything other than a solidly middle-class family. It showed: in spite of M.I.T.'s insistent drive to make students forget who they are, she doggedly maintained her sense of social location; she was the only student in class who had a firm sense of what non-elite American life is about.

"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 …

Nwsa News And Views, Elaine Reuben, Patricia A. Gozemba, Jerilyn Fisher, Liz Birch, Diane Marting, Barbara Fassler, Judy Marcowitz, Barbara Parker

Women's Studies Quarterly

The reports in this issue on the finances of the First NWSA Convention and on NWSA's Project to Improve Service Learning in Women's Studies might serve as Fall reports from the National Office.

Both are about NWSA activities derived from our broad definition of women's studies; both announce long-awaited good news of what we hope will be the first of many successful conventions and projects that will bring women's studies practitioners together to share the work of transforming curriculum and educational institutions.

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 …
