Personality Variables & Sex-Role Classifications Of "Total Woman" Participants, Lou Brown

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The "Total Woman" philosophy and previous research concerning the development of sex-roles, androgyny, how women view themselves and personality differences in group members were reviewed. Since no previous research on the personality variables and the sex-role classification of "Total Woman" participants had been reported, an exploratory study was undertaken. In order to assess personality variables the Personality Research Form-E was administered to 67 "Total Woman" participants from two southern cities. The "Total Woman" subjects were found to have a significantly higher need for Harmavoidance and a significantly lower need for Autonomy, Change, Play and Understanding than the norm group. The …

Women's Studies In India: A Bibliographical Note, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

In two of India's major cities, there are centers for women's studies. Thus far, they are research centers and places where growing library collections allow them to be of use to scholars and to teachers interested in changing their curriculum. Both of these centers would be grateful to U.S. scholars, women's studies centers , publishers, and libraries willing to share their resources and to send copies of books, articles, or pamphlets to India. In the annotations that follow, the address of each center precedes a brief description of its projects and list of its publications, all of which are recommended …

Closeup: Women's Studies Department At San Diego, Marilyn J. Boxer

Women's Studies Quarterly

Despite hazards both external and internal, the Women's Studies Program at San Diego State University (SDSU) has now survived eight years, has been strengthened in the process, and has moved in new directions. Designated a "program" in 1970, it is in fact a functioning "department," thanks to two successive supportive deans.

Funded initially by the SDSU Foundation in a period of militant feminism, in 1974 Women's Studies was assimilated into the administrative structure of the College of Arts and Letters. In the California State University system, funding for academic programs is determined almost exclusively by student enrollment. Departmental status for …

The Sarah Lawrence Summer Institute In Women's History, Amy Swerdlow

Women's Studies Quarterly

In the summer of 1976, 43 high school teachers from 16 states across the country participated at Sarah Lawrence College in an intensive three-week Summer Institute on the Integration of Women's History into the High School Curriculum. The Institute was conceived by the Committee on Women Historians of the American Historical Association, sponsored by the American Historical Association, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and co-sponsored and designed by the Graduate Program in Women's History at Sarah Lawrence.

Responding to a need among high school teachers for training and materials in women's history, which has proven to be …

Letter From India... Written Later, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

This is not an easy letter to write, though I write easily. I could not write it from India. I am undecided even now about how to write it. Perhaps I should begin with pictures: a naked five-year-old girl gently placing a barely-clothed infant in the shade of a parked car, then running before me up the steps of Old Delhi's grandest mosque, her right hand moving rapidly from her mouth out towards me in a gesture that is unmistakable even on my first day in the noon heat. A bouquet of brilliant sareedraped women-twenty-four circles on the floor before …

Facts About Women In Higher Education, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following is the conclusion of a WEAL report, the first half of which appeared in our Winter 1978 issue.

WOMEN GRADUATES IN THE JOB MARKET

What we have, in the final analysis, is a core group of exceptionally well-motivated and well-qualified women. The question is: Do they have equal access to available jobs? The answer is no. The proportion of women who received their doctorates in 1976 and who were seeking employment was 26.5% compared with 19.7% for men. These figures suggest that the availability pool of women is larger than the actual percentage of doctorates they earn, 23.3% …

Nwsa News, Elaine Reuben, Maija S. Blaubergs

Women's Studies Quarterly

FROM THE NATIONAL OFFICE

The National Women's Studies Association has been "in business" at the University of Maryland for two months as I write this memo. When it appears, the semester will be almost over, the weather may be better, and I will be preparing to report on my activities as Coordinator at the Spring 1978 meeting of the NWSA Coordinating Council.

The outlines of that report are already taking shape.

Editorial, Florence Howe

Women's Studies Quarterly

Many people continue to inquire about the status and future of women's studies. With this issue we wish to announce that our annual updating of information about academic women's studies programs in the United States is under way. If your program was listed in the issue dated Summer 1977, you will receive an inquiry from us about your 1978 listing. If yours is a new program or a program information, please write to us at once. The deadline for the 1978 program list will be July 1: the information will appear in the Fall issue.

Williamina Fleming: "Women's Work" At The Harvard Observatory, Anne Gordon

Women's Studies Quarterly

From time to time, we have published the work of students in women's studies courses. The following essay, originally written as a term paper, is such a piece.

Last spring, I fulfilled Harvard's freshman Expository Writing requirement by taking the section Women in American History. Each student was asked to choose one woman from the many who have never been fully studied, and to write about her life and work for the entire semester. From a suggested list I chose Williamina Fleming, astronomer.

I soon realized that Fleming 's biography, while intriguing, would only yield so much information. She was …

The Berkeley School System: Women's Studies Program In Jeopardy, Susan Groves, Phyllis Koppelman, Lyn Reese

Women's Studies Quarterly

The Women's Studies Program of the Berkeley Unified School District was created in 1972. It all began when pressure was placed on the Berkeley Board of Education in 1970 by the Education Committee of the Berkeley chapter of NOW. The committee, which included University of California women, made a strong case for examining sexism in the schools. The Board responded by creating a Women's Task Force whose purpose it was:

-to study the role of women in the Berkeley Unified School District;

-to bring to the attention of the Board both positive and negative aspects of the District in its …

Grass Roots Women's Studies: Piedmont, North Carolina, Mollie C. Davis

Women's Studies Quarterly

North Carolina is a state in nervous transition as it moves rapidly from a predominantly rural to an urban character. Its values and its peoples are in cultural conflict and perhaps have been since the end of World War II when agricultural mechanization, industrialization, improved communication, and racial integration effected substantial changes in this vastly diverse state. The old ways are certainly under attack. Stress accompanies rapid change, especially when values clash and traditional patterns of life and land use are dramatically altered.

The Glca Women's Studies Program: A Consortial Approach, Beth Reed

Women's Studies Quarterly

While programs in many large universities have taken root and are showing signs that they will continue to develop, it is still rare to find administrations of liberal arts colleges offering the support (financial and otherwise) required for a systematic development of women's studies. Even programs in large universities operate with inadequate funding and staffs; in small colleges, resources are still more scarce. In addition to budget problems, the small number of feminist scholar/teachers on the typical college faculty limits the range of available women's studies expertise. During the past two years, therefore, the Great Lakes Colleges Association (GLCA) has …
