I'm interested in suggestions for readings -- books, articles, book chapters -- on such subjects as life stressors that cause mental health problems in women, women's coping skills, how the psychiatric profession treats women, whether depression is really more common in women or just more frequently diagnosed in women, etc. The class will be cross-listed in Psychology and Women's Studies, but most of the students will probably be from other fields (Education, Social Work, etc.) It will be offered at the beginning graduate level. I am considering using the book _Women and Madness_, by Phyllis Chesler, as one of the readings.

It remains fourth among women, behind cancer, unintentional injuries and heart disease, but is expected to replace heart disease and to rise to second place for women in the next few years, Dr. Jaffe* said.

Ed. by Nancy WOrcester and Mariamne Whatley. Section four of this book has six really interesting articles with a host of interesting references that you might also want to track down. THe book itself is a colection of articles by two U of WIsconisin profs who needed to find a good way to put these types of materials together for their students (considering the impossibility now for course packs). Earlier editions of this book are available too with slightly different selections of essays. Also try, Body and SOul:The Black WOmen's Guide to Physical Health and Emotional Well-Being edited by Linda Villarosa The Black WOmen's Health Book edited by Evlyn WHite. I am using both books this semester. The librarians at Taubman are really helpful at tracking specific types of articles through medline etc as well.

Accounting for sex differences in depression through female vicimization: Childhood sexual abuse. _Sex Roles_, 24, 425-438. Or for more general stats on child sexual abuse as a risk factor for a range of mental disorders, see Saunders, B.E., Villeponteaux, L.A., Lipovsky, J.A., & Kilpatrick, D.G. (1992).

There is also a film based on the novel. They vividly represent the psychiatric profession's treatment of women at that time. I would also recommend WIDE SARGASSO SEA, by Jean Rhys, published in 1973 or so; it tells the story of the madwoman in Rochester's attic from her point of view. There is also LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, published in 1862; Lady Audley's secret is that she is NOT mad although she is treated as if she were. I also recommend Elaine Showalter's THE FEMALE MALADY: WOMEN, MADNESS, AND ENGLISH CULTURE, 1830-1980, publsihed in 1985; it works very well with LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET.

Drawing on the current gay or queer moment in popular culture, the project seeks to represent the invisible population of women in this new discourse, and in the larger context of American history and culture. So much of lesbian lives and culture is unknown in academia. Basic texts have yet to be written chronicling lesbian history and social evolution. We seek proposals for these fundamental works, as well as for more specialized or theoretical projects. The series is interdisciplinary, covering the humanities and social sciences. The emphasis on lesbian history does not mean simply the reporting of lesbian lives, nor does it limit studies to the work of historians alone. Rather, "history" means "context," and in this sense studies dealing with art and literature, including those addressing issues of representation, are appropriate for this series provi=ed the analyses are historically, socially, and culturally contextualized. The series editor invites manuscripts and proposals for studies, textbooks, and anthologies of new articles. Works by and about lesbians of color are especially welcome.

Smith's work as a way of thinking theoretically about mental health and the way social scientists (and psychiatrists, etc.) deal with it. There are some good articles in her book _Texts, Facts, and Femininity_ (including 'K is mentally ill') and in the latter half of her book _The Conceptual Practices of Power_.

The Shannon Faulkner case is assuredly going to come up in class. Early in the game -- I guess two years ago -- I (thought I) read that the issue wasn't the MILITARY aspects of the Citadel, but that because the Citadel was all-male, it meant there were more publicly subsidized openings for undergraduate education in South Carolina for men than for women with the same entering credentials. That is, the significance of women being barred was in the Citadel's being a public institution, AND it being of a given calibre in terms of selectivity and faculty. Hence the meaning of her applying and getting in: it demonstrated that gender alone kept her from a college that her credentials would have admitted her to. And it is not mentioned in anytying I have read, but if the men do not have to pass a physical test, then why should the women? What I am interested in are statistics on: 1. The average SATs and GPAs of students ACCEPTED at Clemson and the University of South Carolina. If possible, I would like to see what they are for women, and for men. 2. The average SATs and GPAs of students accepted at the Citadel. 3. The degree of the subsidy at the Citadel. I was told that students are on a full scholarship there, but I do not have that authoritatively. Does anyone know? 4. Is there an equivalent in terms of financial support for the student who goes to USC or Clemson? 5. What is the next level down of state school to which Shannon could have applied if she were not accepted at USC or Clemson? How much is the financial compensation package for in-state students? What are the average SATs and GREs of accepted students there? 6. Ideally, it would be nice to have the information on the TOTAL number of college openings for male and for female students in the state of South Carolina. The point of the information is to get at the REAL issue -- which is, does the existence of a male-only school in the SouthCarolina public college system skew the availability of COMPARABLE spots for women as opposed to men? I would like to see the EDUCATION and (implicit) scholarship aspects of this emphasized over the physical conditioning/military/ so-called "leadership aspects. Sorry this was so long. Any light that could be shed on the above questions would be really helpful. Thanks. Mary Schweitzer, Assoc.

The purpose, minimally, would be to strengthen, by institutionalizing, the means by which we communicate internationally. Other activities for this proposed Network (or "Federation") have been suggested as well, including ways to encourage the establishment of women's studies associations in countries where they do not now exist. Although it is assumed that "members" of this network would be national women's studies associations rather than individuals, we are inviting all interested individuals to attend these workshops in order to think collectively about the needs that such a group might meet and also to help us make the appropriate contacts, including individuals who may not be present at the workshops or at the NGO Forum. There is some confusion about the meeting time and place: Although we had intended only one workshop, the NGO Forum has listed us at 2 separate times under 2 separate titles: 1) "Networking Women's Studies Organizations"--Monday, Sept. 4, 9:00 a.m., in room 10-M34. 2) "Women's Studies Associations--Toward a Worldwide Federation?"--Wed., Sept. 6, 3 p.m., at the Women's Studies International Resource Center. If one of these workshops is canceled, this will be posted at the Tribune Bookstore (if permitted), at the Women's Studies International Resource Center, and at the appropriate workshop. Sorry for the confusion about the meeting time, but we will try to make the correct time known. If you are interested, please make inquiries. Claire G.

It was a heart-wrenching interview--her courage and strength are an inspiration, and her words have been in my thoughts all week. I feel certain that many, if not most, of the male cadets would have folded much sooner if they had had to endure what she did--the hostility, the name-calling, the open displays of antagonism, the threats, and physical intimidation. In fact, how many of those male cadets would have had the strength to fight a long, drawn-out court battle to begin with in the face of such vehement hatred, I wonder? It is never easy to be first. Regardless of her decision to withdraw, she has still accomplished this--being first. Because there has been a first woman ever enrolled at the Citadel, there can now be a second, and a third, and so on. A siege often has to be conducted in waves; how many of us are strong enough to change the world by ourselves? She has NOT let any of us down-- she has offered us her shoulders to stand on, and we should be grateful of her efforts.

In my view, though, the film leaves the question of her diagnosis somewhat open-ended. It hints that she suffered from manic depression, early menopause, very indifferent and ignorant physicians, and Eliot's passivity and/or ambition. The film credits as its major source Viv's brother, who clearly suffers great remorse over her involuntary commitment. My sense was that this would be a very provocative film to show in either a social sciences or a literature class. I remember being taught that Eliot's wife was a nutcase and that he stayed with her (as longsuffering hubby) as long as was humanly possible.

This poem has already been the subject of two previous scholarly books. The student essays have resulted from an international competition, and we've received some very fine work that illustrates different analytical approaches. The book will also include an annotated bibliography of studies of other early modern English women poets. Can anyone out there suggest some presses that might be interested in considering such a book for publication? The fact that the essays are by students means that a university press is unlikely, but the whole point of this volume is to show that "research" and "teaching" need not be exclusive activities. We are not looking to make a profit but do want to make sure that we find a press that will do a nice job of producing the book, and one that has a good record of placing its books in libraries. We want the work of the students to be widely available, so that they will not have worked in vain and so that Moulsworth's poem will receive even fuller analysis than it has already. Thanks very much for any suggestions. Robert C.

Doris Lessing's "To Room Nineteen" deals with some issues similar to those in Yellow Wallpaper. Also, the chapter titled "The Sick Women of the Upperclass" in _Complaints and Disorders: the Sexual Politics of Sickness_ by Barbara Ehrenreich and Diedre English gives some interesting historical information about the appeal of being sickly.

Now, as people come of age who can take women's rights for granted, at least two "generations" of active feminists currently co-exist -- demonstrating the basic success of the contemporary movement. Yet, at the same time, we also find ourselves facing generational and cultural gaps which we believe represent both challenges to and opportunites for our continued success and growth. Through this conference, we hope to begin to understand more clearly the perspectives of the multiple feminist generations, and to forge and reinforce relationships among ourselves as we share three days of events representing the diversity and richness of many different "feminist generations." Featured speakers will be Faith Ringgold, an artist best known for her "story quilts" and children's books celebrating African-American culture and history; and her daughter Michele Wallace, a well-known feminist critic, scholar and novelist. Ringgold's work will be on exhibit in the Fine Arts Center Gallery on the BGSU campus during the conference. We invite presentations (papers, performances, media productions, creative works and panels) addressing the many possible meanings of "generations" in feminist scholarship and activism: * interrogating the meanings of the terms and the experiences of "first," "second," and "third"-wave feminisms/feminists * exploring and contrasting the evolutions and experiences of international feminisms * interpreting the bodies of feminist politics, arts, expressions and works through the "feminist generations" of the past and present * exploring the challenges posed by a culture increasingly defined as "post-feminist" We welcome submissions by pre-college-age scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, independent researchers, performers, activists, artists, and members of all feminist generations. Child care and educational programs for older children will be available. Please send a 250-word abstract, proposal or project description (with slides, video or audio excepts, if appropriate). Performers should submit an abstract along with a list of space and supporting prop requirements.

In terms of a literature review, we've found only a handful of published work (including Renzetti's *Violent betrayal: Partner abuse in lesbian relationships*). My questions... 1) What empirical studies are available that we aren't finding through our computerized searches? 2) Are there lesbian-only associations/organizations that we might tap for prospective respondents? (We have some general les/bi/gay addresses of associations but would like a more focused sample). Please respond privately. Also, please feel free to circulate this request on lesbian subscription lists. TIA, niki Benokraitis nbenokraitis@ubmail.ubalt.edu
