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 …

As our third issue goes to press, we can count upwards of 500 subscribers. Before our fourth—in late June—we'd like some feedback from our regular readers. We realize that you are busy people, but a postal card will do, telling us what you do like and what you would like. We know it's useful to list conferences. At least, the organizers of the spring conference at Sacramento received a large chunk of mail as a result of our notice. But is it useful to report on conferences in news stories, as we did in our second issue and here again? …

Sylvia H. Hudes, principal of Seven Locks School in Maryland, writes of "the immense responsibility implicated in guiding the minds of young people," and of her sensitivity to it, adding: "To insure at least a small measure of human dignity to each student, our children are encouraged to write a personal journal of experiences, kept daily." One rewarding composition, by second-grader Karen Polis, she has shared with us.

The telephone rang before my alarm clock could sound its bell. "Hello, have you seen the morning paper? The cover story on your class in women's studies has just been released!" announced my excited secretary. A second call extended an invitation to be an immediate guest on a party-line hookup with Two-way Radio, and before lunch an additional interview had been taped for airing the following morning. This startling reaction opened the way for a hectic two weeks. During this time I would be referred to as a heretic and a corrupter of youth, and my husband would be accused …

Closeup: Alternative High School Course, Barbara Gates, Adria Reich
Women's Studies Quarterly
During the past two years, we have been developing a Women's Program at The Group School, an alternative high school in Cambridge, Massachusetts for students from working-class families. At present, the program consists of The Women's Group and The Women's Course. The first is run by a nurse and teacher and focuses on sex education. The second, an English skills and social studies class, we will discuss at length. In the fall of 1971 when we taught The Women's Course (year-long, divided into three terms), we began with five girls and were later joined by most of the fifteen girls …

Review Of Female Studies Vi: Closer To The Ground, Women's Classes, Criticism, Programs: 1972, Mary Anne Ferguson
Review Of Female Studies Vi: Closer To The Ground, Women's Classes, Criticism, Programs: 1972, Mary Anne Ferguson
Women's Studies Quarterly
Of the twenty-one articles in Female Studies VI, twenty are "close to the ground." They deal not with polemics justifying women's studies nor revelations of male images of women but with women at work with literature about women: teaching it in the classroom, writing criticism about specific authors, establishing a communal learning experience. Section II, "Women's Studies in the Classroom," is presented in detail through specific experiences at a prestigious undergraduate college, a community college, a state college, and a law school. Some of the writers are political radicals, others are traditional academics; some are self-taught students. They all share …

Martha Batten was beginning her sixth year of elementary school teaching when she first came into her combined fifth and sixth grade class at the Wildwood School in Amherst, Massachusetts, in the fall of 1971. Ms. Batten spoke with us about her experiences teaching and learning with this group, and described the ways in which her own changing awareness about sexism and sexroles led her to focus and design classwork. Although she found that peer group and other pressures to conform to stereotyped roles were tremendously difficult to break through, she was able to devise lessons and to grope towards …

I am currently working as an assistant in developing a reading program for Charles E. Merrill Publishing Company. As might be expected, I am encountering some difficulty in getting the publisher to represent girls and women in the materials to be selected for the program. I hope you can give me some suggestions, support, pressure—whatever. Briefly the situation is this. The publisher is responsible for choosing selections to go into 4th-6th grade reader anthologies. Their art department has minority quotas (20 percent black, 10 percent Spanish-descended, etc.) but none for girls and women. Although the project editor seems to be …

Closeup: Long Beach Women's Studies Program, Deborah S. Rosenfelt
Women's Studies Quarterly
The record of the Center for Women's Studies at California State University, Long Beach, is one of small, undramatic gains over a period of three years. As at other schools which have tried to develop women's studies programs, the administration has been reluctant; unlike many other schools, so has student involvement. Cal State Long Beach is a state university of 30,000 students, on the border of conservative Orange County. Most of the students work at jobs off campus. The women's liberation movement has not produced a strong women's organization on campus. Although students have enrolled in large numbers in such …

On February 10, nearly one thousand women met at Barnard College to participate in a regional conference sponsored by Barnard, Columbia Women's Liberation, Douglass College, NYU, Queens College, Sarah Lawrence, Hunter College, Richmond College, and SUNY/College at Old Westbury. Twelve workshops, each running morning and afternoon, allowed participants to attend two sessions, ranging from "After Consciousness Raising, What?" and "How Far Will Legal Solutions Take Us?" to "Androgyny: The Range of Human Sexual Expression" and "Women Over Thirty: Fears, Expectations and Reality."
In Elementary Schools: A Case Study - The Woodward School, Andrea E. Ostrum
In Elementary Schools: A Case Study - The Woodward School, Andrea E. Ostrum
Women's Studies Quarterly
In the spring of 1970, feminism was introduced into a small, private school in Brooklyn, New York. Woodward School students, 60% white, 40% black, primarily middle-class but with many on scholarship, range from nursery school age through eighth grade. The school is progressive, relying on open classroom teaching in lower grades and on individual attention to older students. Feminist change at Woodward was begun by a few women who had been in consciousness-raising groups. Through informal communication, a group of at first ten, then as many as thirty women began to meet to discuss what was happening to their daughters …

We can now count upwards of 1,000 women's studies courses, the major bulk still in literature, sociology, and history departments. New course titles continue to appear: Asian Women (CUNY/City College); Sexism and Schools (U. Massachusetts); Rhetoric of Women (U. Denver); Biology of Women (Portland State U.). Women in Spanish Culture (U. Washington); Men and Masculinity (U. Wisconsin). Courses continue to appear in law schools and schools of education, and in a sprinkling of other professional or graduate schools. But the big news is the development of women's studies programs.

Some 50 high school teachers have been teaching feminist courses, a good majority of which are either social studies or English courses. The others include a family living course; a course called "Prejudice"; a seminar entitled "Our Bodies, Our Selves" taught at a private girls' school; a summer program for third world high school women in Springfield, Massachusetts; and a discussion for women students at an urban street school. Most courses are meant for male and female students although in many there are few males. Some have been designed specifically for women students and we know of one called "Male …

[What follows is an abstract, prepared especially for this Newsletter, of an essay that appears in Female Studies VI—see news briefs for announcement.] In the winter of 1970, an all-university meeting was called to assess interest in a Women's Studies Program. The original group that gathered informally ranged in age from late teens to late forties. Some were on welfare, some gay, some straight, some students, some faculty (female and male), some community women—a composition that has remained typical in both the academic and the operational parts of our program. Our uniqueness stemmed from the amount and kind of student …

Below is a condensed version of Part I of an essay, to be called "What Matter Mind," that will appear next year in Women's Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Part II of the essay describes the external opposition to Women's Studies, and Part III, a strategy for survival that aims to minimize internal dissent while reducing external opposition.

I have been teaching a nine-week unit on "Women in History" at Kaukauna High School in Wisconsin since the fall of 1970. I was simply asked to teach what I wanted to teach, and so I began. Students chose to take this course, from among seven or eight others, for the usual reasons students choose courses: it looked easy, I was a new teacher, and they had some interest in the subject. The first time I taught the course, I had students write papers on women from different periods, had the rest of the class read them, and supplemented this …
