Editorial: "But What "Is" A Women's Studies Program?", The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Oberlin College, October 1, 1978 "But What IS a Women's Studies Program?"

In several respects a Women's Studies Program is more difficult to define today than it was eight or nine years ago, when there were two of them—at San Diego State University and Cornell. Those two programs had a couple of characteristics in common: They were campus-based, academic programs that offered courses for credit to undergraduates. They had been begun by faculty and students conscious of the "political" statement inherent in announcing that a group of courses had become a "program."

The Coming Of Age Of The Berkshire Conference, Alison Bernstein

Women's Studies Quarterly

Over twelve hundred people attended the Fourth Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, which took place on August 23-25, 1978, at Mt. Holyoke College. The program included more than eighty different papers, topics, and presentations. Clearly, the Berkshire Conference, which this year celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the original group, has come of age. It has become an acceptable way for historians to make their reputations in the profession, and people are eager to list their participation on their resumes. Since 1973, when the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians orchestrated the first of these gatherings at Douglass College and …

Most of the programs listed below are interdisciplinary, i.e., they combine courses in literature, language, or culture with work in sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, history, philosophy, psychology, biology, and related fields.

More Bad News From Virginia, Suzette Henke

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Professor Howe:

As you may recall, I wrote to you describing the state of women's studies at the University of Virginia in the summer of 1975 (Women's Studies Newsletter, Vol. IV, No. 1). Since that time, there has been almost no perceptible change in the administrative policy at Virginia; things seem to be getting worse rather than better. In the last two years, the university has denied tenure to all female and black assistant professors under consideration. The statistics I will quote are almost exactly the same as those cited in 1975.

Graduate Programs In Women's Studies, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies Programs offering graduate degrees recently responded to the following questions:

1. What is the curricular shape and major emphasis of your program? How flexible is it? How many (and which) credits and other requirements must be completed for the degree? Name your degree(s).

2. What kinds of students are you interested in? What are your official (and unofficial) requirements and expectations of students? Provide relevant information about application deadlines, interviews etc.

3. What is the cost of your program? Are forms of financial aid or teaching assistantships available? Is housing available or especially difficult or expensive to obtain? …

Are They The First Two Women's Studies Ph.D.'S?, Sally Wagner, Karen Rotkin

Women's Studies Quarterly

Dear Ms. Reuben:

In June we both graduated from the History of Consciousness program at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The History of Consciousness Board of Studies is interdisciplinary, and it is possible within the program to concentrate in an established discipline. Both of us concentrated our study within the area of women's studies; we had women's studies faculty on our oral and dissertation committees. Karen's dissertation was "The Social Construction of Female Sexual Experience," and Sally's was "That Word is Liberty: A Biography of Matilda Joslyn Gage" (a nineteenth-century American feminist).

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

Summer is traditionally known as a "slow" season in the Washington area, and an organization like NWSA, involving so many students and teachers, also seems to "take a break" between semesters. I can't speak for the Federal folk—except to note that July's march on the Capitol was followed by their extending the deadline for ratification of the ERA—but our work continued.

A Literature Of Survivors: On Teaching Canada's Women Writers, Cathy N. Davidson

Women's Studies Quarterly

"Do all feminists kill themselves or go crazy - or does that only happen in the books feminists write?"

I am reminded of this question put to meby a student in the first Women and Literature course I taught, whenever I look over a syllabus which begins with, say, The Awakening or The House of Mirth and ends with such writers as Plath or Sexton. Of course, we teach more than plot summary and biography. Set in its context, Edna Pontellier's "awakening" should be historically, sociologically, and psychologically illuminating for the contemporary student. But we must also accept the fact …

Women Mathematicians: A Bibliography, Karen D. Rappaport

Women's Studies Quarterly

Although long ignored or unrecognized, there have been several notable women in the history of mathematics. That the list is not long is due to the barriers presented to women trying to study mathematics. Those who were able to learn the subject encountered many more difficulties in their attempts to apply their knowledge. Yet in spite of these difficulties there were women who, because of circumstances, force of will, and/or brilliance, were able to achieve some recognition.

Psychological Androgyny & Gender Attribution To Hypothetical Persons, Deanna Mader

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Previous research concerning sex-role stereotyping, psychological androgyny, and mental health as it relates both to sex-role stereotyping and androgyny was reviewed. The literature indicated the need for a reevaluation of mental health standards with regard to sex-role stereotypes. The present study attempted to approach this need by examining the relationship between psychological androgyny and attitudes toward sex-role stereotyping. It was hypothesized that androgynous individuals would be more likely than other individuals to state that a hypothetical person possessing a specific set of traits could be either male or female. IL was anticipated that this would be true regardless of the …

A Student's Journal: On Menstruation, Yolette Garaud

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following is an excerpt from a journal written for the Introduction to Women's Studies course taught this year by Naomi Rosenthal at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. Yolette Garaud is not a native English speaker; she was born in Haiti in 1952 and came to the United States in 1971. She is now an undergraduate at Old Westbury, where she is majoring in biochemistry. Unable to write the first journal assignment, she produced the following piece within six weeks of the beginning of the course. Interestingly, according to the instructor, it was being asked to …
