Wesleyan Conference Considers How To Evaluate Women's Studies, Sheila Tobias, Lorelei Brush, Alice Gold

Women's Studies Quarterly

What is the general impact of women's studies? Is our investment in women's studies courses the best way to improve the higher education of women? Concerned and curious about these questions, a group of Wesleyan University faculty began in March 1973 to look into the possibility of evaluating women's studies. After preliminary discussion and research, the group decided to invite teachers of women's studies to meet with social scientists knowledgeable about evaluative research to raise the question of evaluation. With the assistance of the Ford Foundation, which made a small grant available for preliminary conferences, a meeting was held on …

Tillie Olsen's Reading List Iii Women: A List Out Of Which To Read, Tillie Olsen

Women's Studies Quarterly

MOST WOMEN'S LIVES (continued) MOTHERING AND WIFEHOOD: Mothering (as distinguished from Motherhood) and Wifehood are rarely a major or even minor part of literature, although women have always been defined by them, and they are the major part of most women's lives. Women's courses do not know, or do not understand, the necessity of including the relatively few works that tell something of what mothering and/or wifehood mean.

A New Inservice Training Model: Sf Conference/Course On School Sexism, Laurie Olsen Johnson

Women's Studies Quarterly

A conference/course, "The Hidden Curriculum: Discovering and Overcoming School Sexism," was offered through the University of California Extension Division, San Francisco, in the spring of 1973. The course, two intensive weekends with intervening work weeks, was planned and administered by Wendy Roberts and Miriam Wasserman. Thirty-five resource people ran the workshops, and many of them helped to plan the course. Sixty-five female and male educators, parents, and concerned others attended. The course was given through an established teacher-education institution for a number of reasons: it provided a guaranteed, though small, amount of money for running the course and the facilities …

Women's Project At United Theological Seminary, Gayle Graham Yates

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies happened at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in the spring of 1973. It was an event, a process, a pedagogy, politics and academic research. Originating from a confrontation with the twelve man faculty by members of the seminary community consciousness-raising group in the spring of 1972, the seminary Women's Project was funded by the United Church of Christ Committee on Theological Education after a proposal was submitted by Professor Lance Barker. The project was to consist of a consultation on women, a class on women taught by a woman, and support of a woman student intern …

Mc Aulay Vs. Board Of Education: If You Want To Be A Test Case..., Mary Mcaulay

Women's Studies Quarterly

My initial confrontation with the New York City Board of Education bureaucracy came when I objected strongly to a written directive from my principal telling his administrators to hire only male teachers. After 13 years of teaching, I was abruptly given an unsatisfactory rating and a punitive transfer. N.Y. State Supreme Court Judge Wilfred A. Waltemade ruled that all I had done was criticize the administration and that punishment without any sort of a hearing was "repugnant to the principles of justice." The Board of Education duly gave me a hearing which found me guilty as charged. N.Y. State Supreme …

Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory : A Definition Of Woman By Julia Ward Howe, Gayle Ann Gullett

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Although neglected by historians Julia Ward Howe contributed much more to American civilization than the words of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." She was one of the founders of women's clubs and a prominent member of the women suffrage movement. At the turn of the century, Mrs. Howe was nearly a household name. She was eulogized at her death in 1910 as "the most distinguished woman in America." Mrs. Howe was the first woman elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a distinction not shared by another woman until 1930.

Several biographies have been written on the …

Rip-Off Professionalism, Marilyn C. Zilli

IUSTITIA

In the February 1972 issue of PRO SE (National Law Women's Newsletter) an article entitled "Professional Rip-off" criticized the Women's Liberation Movement for producing what the authors call "grasping opportunists," "pleasant, reasonable, charming, and eternally submissive sell-out[s] " (page 4). They are referring to professional women and posit that because, in a capitalist society, professional status is a privilege enjoyed by few, the claim that all women will benefit from an improvement in the status of professional women could not be farther from the truth (page 4): "Instead of making women more 'equal,' the new female professionals make themselves more …

Closeup: Sacramento Women's Studies Program, Ginny Mcreynolds, Karen A. Kennedy, Joan Hoff Wilson

Women's Studies Quarterly

Women's Studies at Sacramento began with two courses in the spring of 1970, "Women in the Modern World" and "Women in the Law," an extension course: today, there are twenty-six courses and eight extension courses. That fall, 1970, history professor Joan Hoff Wilson and government professor Kirsten Amundsen sponsored a course on the women's movement, "The Liberation of the American Woman," oriented for both day and evening women students as well as for community women. To avoid the problem of alienation in large groups, Wilson and Amundsen had speakers for two hours, then broke into small groups for discussion. Speakers …

Rosters: An Interim Report, Adrian Trinsley

Women's Studies Quarterly

Progress on a national roster of women and minorities—that "national directory of women scholars" we have been talking about in women's groups within our various professional associations for close to two years now—is "standing still," according to Janet Brown, director of the new Office of Opportunities in Science at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The American Council on Education has written a proposal for an Equal Opportunity Register—a national directory of women and minorities in higher education—and is seeking funding (one estimate tags the cost at three-quarters of a million dollars), but to date no funding …

Report: Elementary School Students, The Feminist Press

Women's Studies Quarterly

We are a group of fifth and sixth graders in a Woman's Role Group at East Hill School in Ithaca, New York. We've been meeting at least twice a week since October. There are seven people in our group. Our first project was for each person to take a famous woman and write a report on her. We wrote reports on Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Elizabeth Blackwell, Lucy Stone and Lucretia Mott. We then made a dittoed pamphlet of the reports.

Closeup: Buffalo's Course On Women And Social Casework, Mary Cahn Schwartz

Women's Studies Quarterly

The purpose of this course was to look at actual social work practice, using some of the critical perspectives that have emerged in the women's liberation movement. Professional schools that are training practitioners obviously must take a hard look at what they are actually teaching people to do. Social work's emphasis on clinical education gave us an unusual opportunity to examine our own practice. It seemed particularly important to look at the possible sexist assumptions in social work, because the profession deals with concerns that are especially relevant to women, i.e., marriage, families, medical care, abortion and family planning, child …
