Planning a National Women\u27s Studies Association

Abstract

On Saturday, March 20, thirty women came together in Philadelphia to begin laying the groundwork for a National Women\u27s Studies Association and to plan for a national founding convention at which the Association will be launched. After two days of intense and high energy discussion, the group agreed in principle on a working paper which proposes a shape for the Association; they also created and approved an outline for a three-day, representational convention to be held in mid-November at San Jose State University
