Review Of Fragment From A Lost Diary And Other Stories: Women Of Asia, Africa, And Latin America By Naomi Katz, Nancy Milton, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

FRAGMENT FROM A LOST DIARY AND OTHER STORIES: WOMEN OF ASIA, AFRICA, AND LATIN AMERICA, edited by Naomi Katz and Nancy Milton (Pantheon, 1973: $10.00), contains twenty powerful stories (one of them in verse) thematically organized to catch the changing lives of women, chiefly in Asia (eleven stories) and Africa (seven stories). Such lives are bound not only to marriage, family, custom, and poverty, but to struggles for freedom in resistance movements above and below ground.

Review Of The Feminist Papers: From Adams To De Beauvoir By Alice S. Rossi, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

THE FEMINIST PAPERS: FROM ADAMS TO DE BEAUVOIR, edited by Alice S. Rossi (Columbia University Press, 1973: $12.95; Bantam, 1974: $1.95), will be welcomed as a text by teachers and students in need of a single collection of "essential" feminist writing both by theorists and activists. Chronicling the two hundred years of western feminist thought, this 716-page volume is impressive for its inclusiveness: twenty-two writers, plus selections from the History of Woman Suffrage.

News From The Campus, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

On the basis of our travels and correspondence, we can say with confidence that new women's studies programs continue to be organized. At Western Michigan University, for instance, at Oberlin, at Ohio State University (from which we receive the excellent library bi-monthly, Women are Human), at Kent State University, at Case-Western Reserve University, at St. Olaf College, at the University of Texas/Arlington, there are official or unofficial faculty women's studies committees working this year either on the writing of a formal proposal or on its implementation. At two eastern women's colleges—Wheaton and Simmons—a lecture series will focus on aspects …

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies Quarterly

THE WOMEN, YES! by Marie B. Hecht, Joan D. Berbrich, Salley A. Healey, and Clare M. Cooper (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973: paperback, $5.95) is the first interdisciplinary feminist high school textbook on women. In four units of seven to nine chapters each, the editors offer analyses of major social and institutional forces which define and discriminate against women (advertising, history, law, economics, religion, sports, the arts, language); significant documents from the movement for women's rights; excerpts from American literature that portray women young and old; and recent essays by feminists involved in the current women's rights movement.

"But That Was In Another Country, And Besides, The Wench Is Dead." (From The Jew Of Malta), Edna Louise Saffy

Saffy Collection - All Textual Materials

Sexism is an all-pervasive force throughout that area of existence designated to "Communication." The language people speak the actions they perform, the very ideas and assumptions that underlie those words and actions, all bear witness to its omnipresence. Yet rarely, if ever, have these aspects of communication been examined in the light of intercultural communication between women and men. Only recently has it even been suggested, much less acknowledged that the separate (but certainly not equal) roles assigned women and men are of enough significance to warrant their labeling as separate cultures. Presently, however, it is becoming evident not only …

Do-It-Ourselves Slideshow, Corrine Lucido

Women's Studies Quarterly

The following is an excerpt from a forthcoming book by Corrine Lucido to be published by The Feminist Press. Community Workshops On Children's Books grew out of a project funded by the Rockefeller Family Fund.

Have you ever thought of using a slide show to dramatize the findings of a feminist project you've been working on in your own community? If so, you probably wondered how much time was involved, how much it would cost and what special skills you might need to make one. We asked these same questions last year when we considered making slides for our Community …

New Overview Of Women's Studies Courses, Deborah Silverton Rosenfelt

What follows is part of the Introduction to a new anthology of syllabi, bibliographies, descriptions of courses and programs called Female Studies VII: Going Strong, available from the Clearinghouse for $4.00 plus .50 for postage and handling.

The growth of women's studies in the past two years has been phenomenal.

There are now well over 2000 courses and over eighty programs. Geographically they range in the United States from Orono, Maine to Honolulu, Hawaii, …

Mills College Conference On Women's Education, Kathy Salisbury

Women's Studies Quarterly

A national conference, "Beyond Sexism: Educating Women for the Future," was held November 9, 10, and 11 at Mills College in Oakland, California with the purpose of sharing new ideas and new questions on the future of women's education. Approximately 500 women (and a handful of men), many of them from the California state college and university system, attended the Ford Foundation sponsored conference.

I arrived in Oakland with luggage consisting for the most part of boxes and folders of papers, newsletters, and brochures from the University of Massachusetts School of Education Women's Caucus and the University's Everywoman's Center, a …
