<p>We agreed at last year's conference to organize sessions into small group discussions with a plenary session at the end of each. We also agreed to use German as the language of the conference as much as possible in consideration of our guest, with program contributions still being in the language of the presenter's choice.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Sprache, Gefühl und Feminismus <br /></span>Facilitator: Naomi Stephan, San Francisco, Ca.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>At last year’s conference we began for the first time to deal with the language we used to communicate with each other. The presence of Margot Schroeder, who knew little English, "forced" us to use German and consequently to examine the reasons why English had dominated our conferences, even though German was/is our "trade."</p>
<p>It became apparent that the problem of out preferred language of communication was somehow intimately linked with our feelings and our feminism, but we had little time to explore just how and to what extent this was true. For these reasons, we decided to use the opening session of this year’s conference to explore with each other the relation of language, feeling and feminism. How do we balance speech (a left brain function), emotion (right brain) and feminism (which involves both hemispheres)? Do we have a preferred "emotional language"? Is there a language for feminism in German? Is language itself a barrier to our expression of feminism?<br />AND MUCH MORE!</p>
<p>Saturday morning <br />Session I<br />9:00-11:00 am</p>

<p>Our purpose is to contribute to a cultural history of femininity by developing new critical tools of textual analysis. There will be three separate workshop groups, each to focus on one text (see below), and to be followed by a plenary session for the presentation and discussion of theoretical perspectives.</p>
<p>The texts for discussion are:</p>
<p>Eighteenth Century: Silvia Bovenschen, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Die Imaginierte Weiblichkeit </span>Late Nineteenth Century: Frank Wedekind, the Lulu plays Twentieth Century: Angelilca Mechtel, "Die Träume der Füchsin," "Kuckkucksfrau," and "Zweimal ein Sohn," in: Die <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Träume der Füchsin</span>.</p>

<p>The November issue of the WiG newsletter will include summaries of the October 1981 conference sessions, reports of decisions made during the business meeting, and so on.</p>
<p>If you have other items you want published in the Hovember issue, please send them by Oct. 30, 1981, to WiG’s new address: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Women in German</span>, Dept. of Modern Foreign Languages, Indiana U.-Purdue U. at Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, IN 46805.<br /><br />page 6</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1981 WIG WORKSHOP INFORMATION</span></p>
<p>The 1981 WIG Workshop will be held October 16-18, again at the Siena Center in Racine, Wisconsin. The conference fee includes lodging, all meals (supper on Friday thru lunch Sunday) and other costs. Included in the fee is an estimated amount to cover anticipated childcare costs, as agreed at the last WiG conference. If—because we have a large number of children--we need additional funds to cover childcare costs, a surcharge will be assessed during the conference. All conference participants must become members of Women in German.</p>
<p>Since we must let the Siena Center people know well in advance how many of us will be attending, we are <span style="text-decoration:underline;">serious</span> about the September 15 registration deadline! A $5.00 surcharge will be assessed on registrations received after that date. As you will note from the attached form, a "natural foods" option is also available this year, and registration fees have been established on a dual price structure, in an attempt to keep the conference affordable for students and the unemployed. If you "technically" fall into either of these categories but can nonetheless afford to pay the full fee, please do! We need the $$$! .</p>
<p>A bit of information regarding childcare for any of you who anticipate bringing a child (children):</p>
<p>1) You must fill out the form on page 8, and submit it <span style="text-decoration:underline;">with your registration form</span> if you plan on bringing a child (children).<br />Please do not finalize your plans to do so, however, until you have had confirmation from us.</p>
<p>2) While the Siena Center has adequate space for childcare, they have very little by way of facilities or equipment (cribs, high- chairs, etc.) Each child will have to be accompanied by 2 or 3 favorite toys, disposable diapers, bottles and formula, clothing, and other necessities. Milk, juice, snacks and other childcare basics will be provided at no charge, but the parent will have to pay for older children’s meals if taken with the group, and for lodging if the child does not share the mother’s room.</p>
<p>3) We will provide childcare staff. (they will be paid at about $4.00 per hour) for hours during which meetings are scheduled, and will also try to arrange for babysitters to keep an eye on children upstairs after they have been put to bed Friday and Saturday evenings. We may, however, need some volunteers to help with this.</p>
<p>Please register as early as possible if you plan on bringing a child (children). We will give you further information on costs, what to bring, etc., at that time. If you have any other questions, contact Nancy Vedder-Shults, [redacted]<br /><br />page 7</p>

<p>Moderator: Elke Frederiksen (U. of Maryland). As this newsletter</p>

<p>MAKING CONNECTIONS, RESPECTING DIFFERENCES</p>
<p>Moderator: Evelyn Beck (U. of Wisconsin). The substance for this</p>
<p>final discussion will come directly from the preceding two days’ experiences. We hope to isolate the issues which have really come out of the conference and which may have been raised by our willingness to face difficult questions. We will try to weave together theoretical, personal* political and academic questions as they affect and reflect our differing perspectives on and involvement in the women’s movement, feminism in the US and Germany, our view of our discipline—at the same time recognizing the commonalities that bring us all together.</p>
<p><b>LUISE</b></p>
<p><b> RINSER</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Biographical Date</span> : Luise Rinser was born April 30, 1911 in Pitzling, Upper Bavaria. She studied pedagogy and psychology in Munich, receiving her degree i_. 193<sup>1</sup>*. She taught elementary school from 1935 to 1939« She was married in 1939 to Horst-Günther Schnell (conductor), who was killed in Russia in 19^3. Her two sons, Christoph and Stephan, were born in 19^0 and 19^1. Her first book, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Die </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gläsernen Ringe</span>, appeared in 19^0. Forbidden to publish after 19^1, she was arrested and convicted of high treason and undermining military morale in 19HU. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gefängnistagebuch</span> (19^6) describes her prison experience. After the war she worked as a literary critic for the American paper <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Neue Zeitung</span>. In 1950 her novel <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mitte des Lebens</span> appeared; it has since sold more than one million copies and been translated into 15 languages. It was awarded the René Schickele Literature Prize in 1952. In 1961 <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mitte des Lebens</span> was published together with the novel <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Aben</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">teuer der Tugend</span> under the new title <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Nina</span>. Rinser was married to composer Carl Orff from 195^ to 1959- She has been a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts since 1956. Other publications include her essay <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Unterentwickeltes Land Frau</span> (1970), her diaries <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Baustelle</span> (1970), <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Grenzübergänge</span> (1972), and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Kriegs spiel</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">zeug</span> (1978) as well as numerous novels, collections of stories, documentary prose, and radio and TV plays. She was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz in 1977, the Italian National Prize for Literature in 1979, and the Roswitha-Gedenkmedaille by the city of Gandersheim in 1979. Her autobiography <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Den Wolf </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">umarmen</span> (l98l) was on the bestseller list for several months.

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WiG Conference -Her-Story</span></p>
<p>Especially for newcomers to WiG (but also for "old" members who'd like to reminisce), here is a brief account of how our conferences have evolved and grown since the first one. Held in September 1976, it was announced as a weekend retreat combined with a one-day symposium entitled "Feminism and German Studies: An Interdisciplinary Perspective." The format for the second conference was similar, but that year the group decided to restructure the next meeting as follows (I quote from the Nov. 1977 WiG Newsletter):</p>
<p>At the second annual Women in German Conference/Retreat, we discussed various ways of restructuring the third conference (1978) in order to encourage greater involvement on the part of all participants. It seemed to us that <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Arbeitsgruppen</span> could facilitate collective work by breaking up the conventional formalities of academic conferences, encouraging greater involvement, and eliminating the typical split between "active" paper-givers and a "passive" audience. Far from decreasing academic work, the formation of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Arbeit sgruppen</span> has the potential of opening up new avenues and methods of research. Collective work requires one to consider closely the results of others' research and to attempt to synthesize it with one's own in order to bring forth a product that is greater than the sum of its parts.</p>
<p>Translating these principles into practice has been an important part of our annual conferences since then.</p>
<p>The 1978 conference weekend was the first one to devote the opening session to discussing our experiences surviving in or on the margins of our male-dominated profession. Entitled "Personal and Professional Survival as a Woman Germanist," that evening generated much enthusiasm and initiated a tradition of opening each conference with a session where we can discuss and share our personal/professional/political experiences, become (re-)acquainted with each other, and affirm that the personal is political--<span style="text-decoration:underline;">and</span> scholarly!</p>
<p>Another decision made that year was to designate one session of the 1979 conference "for women only." Quite simply, we had found that we needed to provide the kind of space where women can feel free to speak about experiences and issues we do not wish to share with men (no matter how supportive or pro-feminist they may he). This too has now become a tradition of our annual conferences.</p>
<p>The 1979 conference was exhilarating--and exhausting. We decided to schedule only three Saturday panels for the 1980 conference, rather than four as in previous years, so as to allow more free time for networking, exchanging ideas on our special interests, and just plain relaxing. We also decided to seek funding for bringing a German woman writer to the conference. Margot Schroeder was our guest in 1980, Angelika Mechtel in 1981.</p>
<p>Attendance at the conferences had been increasing each year, and with over 50 attendees in 1980 it became impossible for all participants to contribute to each discussion. Our solution was to organize the following year’s sessions to include small group discussions with a plenary session at the end of each, as well as to ask session organizers to announce specific primary works to be discussed in advance, so everyone wishing to do so could read them before the conference.</p>
<p>In 1981 we decided that a weekend conference was simply no longer enough. We took a deep breath and agreed to make the 1982 conference a day longer. Also, w_ realized that in our eagerness to explore theoretical issues, literary analysis, new ways of reading, etc. and to find ways to make visible and confront the long unspoken oppressions which have historically so often divided women, we had begun to lose sight of a very important and practical focus of our early conferences: the sharing of basic information, such as course syllabi</p>
<p>or reading lists, news of women’s organizations or projects we learned about during trips abroad, and so on. We have planned this year’s conference to incorporate this early "tradition" as well as to continue those discussed above.</p>
<p>We hope and expect that the 1982 conference, the first to be held outside the Midwest, will be the best one yet. If you have materials you would like to share with the group, please bring them to Boston when you come. See you there!</p>
<p>Please remember: even if you won’t be able to attend the conference, you can still use the registration form to propose future session topics for conferences, suggest authors we should consider inviting, and nominate people for steering committee vacancies. If you choose to do this, your suggestions will be among those discussed during the business meeting in October.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">THANKS!</span></p>
<p>Many, many thanks to everyone who wrote in response to the March 1982 newsletter—Jeanette and Connie appreciate the encouragement a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">whole </span>lot!

<p class="Bodytext30"><b>ANNOUNCING...</b></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Christa and Gerhard Wolf in the US</span></p>
<p>As many of you already know, Christa and Gerhard Wolf will both be teaching in the OSU German Department during the spring quarter of 1983 (March 28 to June 10). They plan to arrive in the US at the beginning of the quarter and haven't yet decided whether they will extend their stay beyond 'arly June.</p>
<p>Helen Fehervary writes that the Wolfs have expressed the desire to spend most of their time in Columbus, and they have been assured that their time will be protected. They will probably be able to accept very few speaking engagements elsewhere. -- In other words, if we want to meet them, we should try to go to Columbus rather than ask them to come to us'.</p>

<p><b>BARBARA FISCHMUTH</b></p>
<p>[photo]</p>
<p>We were delighted when Barbara Frischmuth wrote that she would like to discuss her ideas on women mystics with us. As Karen Achberger points out, this will tie in well with last year's conference, when Luise Rinser read from her work- in-progress, the "fifth gospel," relating the life of Christ according to Maria Magdalena; it will also give us an opportunity to continue our discussion of the politics of women's spirituality and of "Frauenmystik" that was begun in 1980 at the first Racine conference when Gabriele Strauch shared with us her research on Mechthild von Magdeburg.</p>
<p>For WiG members who want to prepare for the meeting with Barbara Frischmuth, Karen sent this selected bibliography.</p>

<p>THE HAMBURG CONFERENCE</p>
<p>The conference "Feministische Literaturwissenschaft: Zum Verhältnis von Frauenbildern und Frauenliteratur," held May 24-27 in Hamburg, was attended by over 300 women! -- The majority were from the FRG, but there were also participants from Austria, Switzerland, Italy, England and the U.S. Morning sessions were devoted to the presentation of formal papers; afternoon and evening sessions consisted of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Arbeitsgruppen</span> for discussion of more narrowly defined topics within the general framework of each morning's presentations. The conference was superbly organized by Sigrid Weigel and Inge Stephan (U. Hamburg): <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Thesenpapiere</span> for the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Arbeitsgruppen</span> were mailed to everyone registered prior to the conference; a list of all participants was distributed at the conference; coffee and snacks were provided during the ample breaks between sessions; a wonderful women's carabet trio "Die Witwen" entertained us on Thursday evening— you get the idea. Sigrid's and Inge's resourcefulness also included on-the-spot flexibility: when the discussion group "Frauen und Film" bogged down in frustration over the participants' wildly diverse experiences and backgrounds in film criticism, a showing of Ulrike Ottinger's <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bildnis einer Trinkerin</span> and a follow-up discussion period were quickly arranged for the following day, much to the satisfaction of those who attended. Several of us who were able to be present in Hamburg will report in more detail on the conference when we meet in October (see conference schedule, p. 2). By relating our impressions and individual experiences, we hope to be able to give you a sense of the intensity of it all, of the diverse and often contradictory expectations and assumptions on the part of those attending, and to communicate the significance of this first West German conference on feminist literary research and criticism for our ongoing dialog on finding a feminist voice in the profession.</p>
<p>According to the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rundbrief</span> mailed by Sigrid and Inge in July, negotiations are underway to publish the conference proceedings (formal papers and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Thesenpapiere</span>) ; we hope to have an update on this by October also. A planning committee was appointed to organize a second such conference for 1984; the contact address is: Ursula Geitner, Interdisziplinäre Frauenforschungsgruppe, Universität Bielefeld, Universitätsstr. 25, 4800 Bielefeld, FRG.</p>
<p class="Heading60"><b>WIG PROJECTS</b><b></b></p>
<p>PROGRESS REPORTS</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Textbook reviews</span>. By now you should have received your copy of the WiG textbook review special issue, which was mailed in May. If you are a very recent WiG member, you may not have received this mailing; if so, write to the newsletter requesting it. OF COURSE, we welcome your comments on the reviews, and will do our best to publish future reviews which this first effort might inspire you to write. See "Letters," p. 9, for one WiG member's reactions.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WiG Syllabi Project</span>. Sydna (Bunny) Weiss and Sidonie Cassirer received a goodly number of excellent syllabi for courses on women and German literature/culture and have been working over the summer to edit and assemble a booklet, to be distributed this fall. Bunny writes: "It's breathtaking to see what marvelous and original work feminists are doing!" --The booklet, when ready, will be well worth waiting for, so try to be patient.<br /><br />-7-</p>
<p>WIG PROJECTS</p>
<p>PROGRESS REPORTS (continued)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WiG Yearbook</span>. We were pleased with the responses to our call for assistance with the planned Yearbook (March newsletter). Edith Waldstein (MIT) volunteered to serve as co-editor; she and Marianne Burkhard met in July to discuss papers received and refereed so fpr (thank you to those who volunteered to referee papers), and will have a further progress report for us at the October conference in Boston.</p>
<p>ONGOING AND FUTURE PROJECTS</p>
<p>As you probably recall, a number of other projects were suggested at last October's conference (see the Nov. 1982 newsletter). Members of the steering committee and sundry others have discussed the need to organize some more of WiG's talent and energy to accomplish as many projects as possible. Here are some to think on; other suggestions are welcome.</p>
1.<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Translation</span>. The availability of works by German women authors in English translation continues to be a problem. We have discovered that a number of us, in our desperation, have simply sat down and translated texts to use in our teaching, then tucked them into our files. We suspect that if we collected these translations, we would have the basis for at least one anthology, perhaps more. One priority for an anthology of translated works, it seems to us, would be a collection of lesbian literature (short prose, novel excerpts, poetry). (Of the few German lesbian texts in English translation, one--Verena Stefan's <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Shedding</span> — is likely to be hard to obtain because the publisher, Daughters Inc., has gone out of business.) Another priority might be a collection of "older" (nineteenth century and earlier) women's writing; some of you may have other specific suggestions.<br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><br /></span>2. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bibliography</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">book reviews</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">journal reviews</span>, etc. We need to find ways to help each other keep up with the ever-increasing number of feminist books, articles and journals, (isn't it nice to have this problem?) We would like to publish more book reviews (brief ones!) and bibliographies in the newsletter; it would also be good to have reviews of journal issues along the lines of those published in the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">GDR Bulletin</span> (available from Washington U., St. Louis).<br /><br />3. Conduct a new <span style="text-decoration:underline;">survey of German departments</span> to determine the frequency of course offerings on women and German literature, feminist criticism, etc.; resources and support for feminist research; faculty qualified to teach women's 1iterature/feminist theory, and so on. (In other words, produce a sort of "Everywoman's Guide to German Departments.") <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Monatshefte</span> published the (rather meager) results of a survey on "Women's Studies and Germanistik" in 1978, and might be willing to publish an update; probably they would also make their mailing list available to us if we decide to do this.<br />
<p>Now then. What are <span style="text-decoration:underline;">your</span> interests and needs, and what are you able/willing to do to help? Concretely, how much time could you spend working for WiG during the coming year? One day each semester? Two? One day a month? More? Please think about this, and let us know how you'd like to contribute; volunteer your time, expertise and suggestions on the tear-out page (p. 25 of this newsletter) and return it to Jeannine Blackwell. Many thanks.<br /><br />-8-</p>

<p class="Heading60"><b>LETTERS</b></p>
<p>Letters from WiG members are always welcome and appreciated, whether they get published in the newsletter or not. Here are a few excerpts from letters received during the past several months, for your collective enjoyment, inspiration, indignation, or action, as appropriate.</p>
<p>From Charlotte Smith, Seattle: "Enclosed is a gift subscription for a friend (Germanistin) . . . The last newsletter, which .I just received, gave me the usual lift and reminded me that I am not alone. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Thanks</span> ..."</p>
<p>From Renate Delphendahl, Orono, ME: "I myself am very impressed with the good work you and the dedicated others have done. I can now see that we will constitute a network of women who can help each other. After the Boston conference of 1982 I gave a one-hour seminar on my campus reporting on the highlights of the meeting and the audience was impressed with what WiG has been doing. I got questions on which of Luise Rinser's works are available in English, and the idea of how women are portrayed in fairy tales sparked quite a discussion.<br />. . . Even though no colleague from my department came to my talk, there were about 35 faculty members from English and Speech and other departments who were interested to find out about WiG."</p>
<p>From a new student member: . . . "How sad that as an undergrad I was taught only male authors, analysis, criticism--with the feminist approach . . or German women authors de-emphasized. I learned from the History Dept. that <i>[a</i> WiG member? studied <i>[at</i> _______ University?] -- I had never heard this and in fact when I told a German professor I was curious about [her], he asked me if I intended to be a radical feminist. So it seems they resent this if it is more than just innocent scholarship that doesn't intend to change things. . . .<br />I am excited to have learned of your existence and I'm very hopeful about participating in the organization in the future ... I will also pass on all information to as many people as possible." (names withheld by editor).</p>
<p>From Mary M. El-Beheri, President, Texas Chapter AATG, San Antonio, TX: "In reading the Women in German Textbook Reviews, I was impressed with the thoroughness of the reviewers and would like to know why books used in high school German programs were not reviewed. This is needed, especially in states like Texas, where millions of dollars are spent by the state for the textbooks, which are literally chosen by a state committee. . . . If, in fact, WiG wants to have among its membership high school teachers of German, then please consider directing something of interest to us. There are feminists among us and we are a very large segment of the teachers of German . . . Keep up the good work. Hope to attend the WiG business meeting in San Francisco." (ed. note: Textbook reviewing will be discussed at the October conference in Boston.<br />The San Francisco AATG Meeting might be a good place to recruit people to review high school textbooks. Meanwhile, anyone interested in reviewing any German textbook from a feminist perspective should let WiG know.)<br /><br />-10-</p>

They are seeking essays, as well as model course syllabi, key bibliographies, or reviews of clusters of books essential for the classroom. Essays may focus on pedagogy, on students' responses, on curricular design, or on particular aspects of the central themes, e.g., with regard to "Teaching About Mothering/Motherhood," they are interested in essays on teaching about such topics as mother/daughter relationships, single mothers, lesbian mothers, or mothers with particular racial or ethnic identities. Essays written from a single disciplinary perspective are welcome, as are those from an interdisciplinary perspective, and essays related to teaching on the preK - 12 level and in community as well as campus settings.</p>

<p class="Heading50">Helaine Victoria Press</p>
<p>CALL FOR RESEARCH</p>
<p>Helaine Victoria Press, publishers of postcards on women in history, announced a call for "postcard manuscripts" at the National Women's Studies Conference in Columbus, Ohio, June 26-30.<br /><br />-13-</p>
<p>HELAINE VICTORIA PRESS – CALL FOR RESEARCH (continued)</p>
<p>"We need scholars, students, and other writers to submit pictures and information on women in history to develop into new postcards," Jocelyn Cohen, co-director of the Press said. "We are celebrating our Tenth Anniversary by expanding our production of cards and we need help to do it. We're especially interested in original source material, but do use secondary sources also."</p>
<p>The researcher will be credited on the card and will receive 100 first-run copies in appreciation for the work. Helaine Victoria Press is a non-profit educational organization which has printed and sold more than 100,000 postcards in the last ten years.</p>
<p>"A postcard is first of all an exciting clear photograph," Nancy Poore, codirector of the Press said. "Concerning the text on the back, we want researchers to write a caption which further relates the picture to the subject. Specific historic details and accuracy are essential. The maximum length is about 190 words." The Press will take the researcher's text as a guide to write the actual caption. They also need a write-up about the woman or event, three to ten pages long, perhaps a research paper or article especially written for the Press to back-up the caption and to keep in the research files, and a short bibliography on the woman or event. Bibliographies will be available with the cards for teachers and others who want to read more about each subject.</p>
<p>The Press needs postcard manuscripts for the next two to three year's publishing schedule. They plan four sets of cards on the following subjects: 1. Latin American and Hispanic Women in Politics, Culture and Change i.e. revolutionary activity, art and folk art, music and literature. 2. Haymarket Riot 100 Year Commemorative Set, focusing on the contributions of women to the struggle of organized labor in the U.S. from 1886 to 1986, particularly events involving immigrant, minority and rural working women. 3. Women's Brigades and Auxiliaries - worldwide history of women organizing their own special groups, usually within a larger movement--for example, Women's Russian Brigade of Death, the Pullman Porters Ladies' Auxiliary. 4. Political Action by Minority Women in the U.S. in such causes as civil rights, women's liberation, environmental concerns, and peace. The publishers also plan a fifth set of cards centered on a theme suggested by researchers' contributions.</p>
<p>For those not familiar with Helaine Victoria postcards, or who do not know which women have already been portrayed in cards, you may get the new catalog and two sample cards by sending $1 to Helaine Victoria Press, 4080 Dynasty Lane, Martinsville, IN 46151. Writers, researchers, historians--everyone interested— are invited to a Ten Year Retrospective of Helaine Victoria Press at Indiana University in Bloomington from October 1 to 22 in the Fine Arts Building.</p>
<p>Please do not send original photographs. Send a good glossy print or even a xerox copy. If your idea can be used by the Press, they will get in touch with you about the original. Helaine Victoria Press will use as many of the postcard manuscripts as are suitable and as they can afford to publish. A special campaign to raise money to publish the cards is underway. All materials received will be acknowledged, but not returned as the material will be filed for possible future use. Where more than one person submits similar material Helaine Victoria will take from each and credit all.<br /><br />-14-</p>
<p>--There you are, folks—send Helaine Victoria some German, German-Jewish, German American, German-whoever women for this wonderful new project. (P.S. They already have a postcard of Rosa Luxemburg and Clara Zetkin.)</p>

<p>THE WOMEN'S REVIEW OF BOOKS</p>
<p>A new book review periodical began publication this summer. Conceived and planned by women currently teaching in Boston-area colleges and universities, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Women'</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">s Review of Books</span> will be a monthly newspaper-format publication.<br />Our intention is to help solve a problem which many of us (both in the academic world and outside it) are increasingly aware of: that is, the fast-growing body of writing, both general-interest and scholarly, which has been one result of the contemporary women's movement, receives a disproportionately small share of attention in the established book review periodicals and in the media generally. Keeping up with writing in the great variety of fields that feminist readers are typically interested in—from fiction to philosophy, anthropology to art, political science to poetry--gets harder every year, and the existing feminist magazines and newspapers can only partly respond to that need.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Women's Review of Books</span> will do something to remedy this situation. Starting with a small pilot issue in June 1983, then, every month from next October onward,<br /><br />-15-</p>
<p>NEW JOURNALS</p>
<p>THE WOMEN'S REVIEW OF BOOKS (continued)</p>
<p>we will publish a 20-page issue containing eight to ten substantial in-depth reviews of recently published books by and/or about women, both academic and general-interest in nature. The reviewing staff and editorial board will be composed of well-known and respected feminist writers working in all fields, both in and outside academia.</p>
<p>The kind of books we expect to review include: feminist writing in all fields, both general - interest and academic women's studies, as well as autobiography, fiction and poetry by women, especially those whose writing focuses on identifiably feminist concerns. We will also, from time to time, look at a variety of other kinds of work of interest to our audience. These could include, for example, textbooks and children's books, especially the conspicuously sexist and the conspicuously non-sexist, and misogynistic or homophobic books which attract particular attention or praise in the "male" media. We also plan occasional longer retrospective "review essays" focusing, for example, on trends in a particular area of Women's Studies, on the work of one poet or fiction writer, on the feminist writing within one ethnic or religious group, and so on.</p>
<p>For all of this to become a reality, we need support. We urge all of you to subscribe: our special pre-publication rate (up to September 1st 1983) is $9.00 for 12 issues plus the pilot issue; thereafter the subscription rate is $12 for individuals and $25 for institutions. In addition to subscription income, we also need (tax-deductible) donations to help us pay our start-up costs. For those with the resources, we offer a lifetime subscription for $200; but <span style="text-decoration:underline;">anything</span> you want to give will help us reach our goal.</p>

<p>“ . . . die literarische Gattung des Romans lerweist sichl als Moglichkeit, die Anstrengungen zur Normierung der Frauen zu unterlaufen. Der Roman stellt einen anderen Raum dar, sowohl was seine Produktion angeht (die Frau am Schreibtisch ist wo-anders!) als auch was die Welt angeht, die er entwirft. Indiz dafür ist das Bewu3tsein, mit dem Heldinnen und, auf einer anderen Ebene, Autorinnen auf das Schreiben und das Produkt, den Roman, reflektieren. Die These von einer ungebrochenen Propagierung der Idreifachen Bestimmung des Weibes,1 die in der Frau als unschuldiger Heldin ihr Bild fände, laβt sich nicht halten. Das ambivalente Verhaltnis der Frauen zum Roman--die moralisch-didaktische Darstellung weiblicher Identitat und die gleichzeitige Irritation dieser Entwurfe-begreift sich selbst als asthetische Praxis, die die gesellschaftliche Situation der Frau thematisiert und ihre Chancen, literarisch zu arbeiten, Fiktionen zu entwerfen. Die Spuren dieser Problematik durchzlehen die Frauenromane des 18. Jahrhunderts: Die Schrift, Raum des Schreibens, erhebt Einspruch gegen die Unschuld als umfassendes Modell burgerlicher Weiblichkeit."

The item below was sent to WiG by Joan Moessner; though she didn't say what newspaper it's from, it seems very likely to have been written by said male reporter, who claimed to be from "Die Welt." —While the writer's attitude isn't exactly news to us, it does remind us, should we be so distracted as to forget, of what we're up against.</p>

Emilia Galotti - das ist die juegendliche Unschuld, die durch ihre angeborene Verführungskraft eben doch schuldig ist in den Augen der Männer; in ihr wird die Reinheit zum Fettisch. Muß man feministisch sein, um darauf zu kommen? Hingegen Ingeborg Bachmann - verkannt ist sie von männlichen Kritikern, ihre Texte können von Männnnern nicht entschlüsselt werden, nur weibliches Denken ermöglicht den richtigen Zugang.<br /><br />Mit einer provikanten Frage („ Wer war der gr</span>ößte Literatur-Macho?" wird nur Lächeln geerntet - es sind die gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten, die die Männer so denken lassen. Eine Wissenschaft entdeckt, daß Literatur ex tunc von den beiden Geschlechtern verschieden aufgenommen wird, ja, ihnen etwas Verschiedenes bedeuten muß. Alnders als für Palmström ist dies nicht süß, sonder bitter, vor allem, wenn das, was für Literatur gilt, für Pressekonferenzen nicht gelten soll.<br /><br />[drawing]</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Montag, 30. Mai 1983</span><b><br /><br />NO COMMENT …</b></p>
<p class="Bodytext30">Eigentlich ist das Wort konservativ ganz leicht zu definieren. Konservativ sein bedeutet an alten Gewohnheiten festhalten. Militärs von der alten Schule gelten zum Beispiel als konservativ, weil Tradition und Gehorsam für sie eine sehr wichtige Rolle spielen. Christlich orientierte <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Menschen und Frauen</span> gelten oft als konservativ, denn auch sie — so glauben viele — wollen an alten Gewohnheiten festhalten.</p>

<p>AND IT GOES ON . . .</p>
<p>Item from the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">DAAD-Letter</span> (Bonn: DAAD), No. 2, June 1983, p. 21, sent to WiG by Barbara Kaltz.</p>
<div>
<p class="Bodytext20"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Frankfurt</span><br /><strong>Vorlesungen nur für Frauen</strong></p>
</div>
<p>Die Initiative einiger Frauen an der Universität Frankfurt löste im vergangenen Semester erregte Diskussionen aus. Das <span>„Frauenplenum", eine lockere Vereinigung von Studentinnen - vor allem der Soziologie, Pädagogik und Germanistik -, die unter anderem in Arbeitsgruppen regelmäßig uni-spezifische und allgemeine Frauenfragen gemeinsam diskutieren, kündigte eine Ringvorlesung über zwei Semester an. Nicht das Thema „Feminsitische Wissenschaft" war es, an dem sich die Gemüter erhitzten, sondern der Hinweis in der Akündigung: „Nur für Frauen".<br /></span>In der Leserbriefspalte der Universitätszeitschrift wurde der Disput offen ausgetragen. <span>„Es ist dies, meines Wissens nach, die erste wissenschaftliche Veranstaltung an der Universität Frankfurt seit 1945, von der eine bestimmte Gruppe von Universitätsmitgliedern - gekennzeichnet durch unveränderte physiologische Merkmale - von der Teilnahme ausgeschlossen wurde", schreibt ein Professor der Gesellschaftswissenschaften und nennt das Verbot „widerrechtlich". Ein anderer, Professor der Mathematik, erinnert direkt an den Ausschluß der Juden von der Wissenschaft im Dritten Reich und zieht eine Verbindung zwischen „feministischer Wissenschaft" und „deutscher Physik".<br /></span>Die Frankfurterinnen argumentieren dagegen, daß Frauen dem <span>„weiblichen Ghetto" gesellschaftlicher Ungleichheit nur entkommen könnten, wenn sie sich „eigene Diskussionszusammenhänge schaffen könnten". Männer seien dabei „nicht aufgrund ihrer Geschlechtszugehörigekit unerwünscht, sondern wegen ihres sozialen Umgangs damit".</span><br />Wilma Mohr, assistentin am Fachbereich Gesellschaftswissenschaften mit gutem Kontakt zum Frauenforum und aktiv an den Ringvorlesungen beteiligt, wundert sich über die Empörung der ausgeschlossenen Männer einerseits und ihr geringes Interesse für die Frauenforschung andererseits. Im Rahmen der offiziellen Veranstaltungen des Fachbereichs hielt sie ein Seminar ab über <span>„Frauenarbeit und ökonomisch-technischen Wandel". Von etwa 70 Teilnehmern waren nur vier Männer.<br /><br />Um frauenbezigene Themen wie dieses, Themen der Wissenschaft, der Industriesoziologie, der Frauenbewegung wissenschaftlich behandeln zu können, hatten sich die Frankfurterinnen seit langem um einen Lehrstuhl für Frauenforschung bemüht. Die Professorinnenstelle wurde jedoch kürzlich vom Hessischen Kultusminister abgelehnt, An der Freien Universität Berlin existiert seit zwei Jahren eine in der Bundesrepublik einmalige „Zentraleinrichtung zur Förderung von Frauenforschung und Frauenstudien", deren Aufgabe es ist, den Frauenaspekt in Lehre und Forschung an der FU einzuführen und auszubauen. In Bielefeld wurde im vergangenen Wintersemester die Interdisziplinäre Forschungsgruppe Frauenforschung" eingerichtet, die in der Bundesrepublik auch die erste ihrer Art ist. Geplant sind Forschungsprojekte in den Bereichen „Geschlechtliche Arbeitsteilung und weibliche Erwerbstätigkeit", „Weibliche Bildung" und „Frauen und Dritte Welt".</span></p>

<p>CONFERENCE REGISTRATION: for the conference registration form, see page 13 of this newsletter. The deadline for registering is <span style="text-decoration:underline;">September 15, 1984</span>. Why so early? you may be wondering. Well, it's because we have to let the folks on Thompson's Island know one <span style="text-decoration:underline;">month</span> in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">advance</span> how many of us there'll be and on which nights; arrival times (so boat transportation can be arranged) and that sort of thing. Also, this year there is no "overflow space" for us on the Island; only one building, with 63 beds, has been reserved for WIG. In other words, if you register late, you might have to find your own place to sleep!<br />So do it now! Before you forget! Help us conference organizers make this our most efficient WIG yet.<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * * * * *</p>
<p>AN EVENING WITH HELGA SCHÜTZ <br /><br />Friday, October 19, 7:30 pm</p>
<p>Friday evening's program will feature GDR author Helga Schütz in reading and discussion of her works. Best known to Western readers as the author of the moving "Jette" stories, Helga Schütz is also recognized as an important figure in the film world of the GDR. Trained at the Deutsche Hochschule für Filmkunst at Potsdam/Babe1sberg and married to the well-known director Egon Günther, she has written the scenarios to important films such as the Georg Büchner story "Addio, piccola mla" (1979) and "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers" (1976).</p>
<p>Highly autobiographical in nature, Schütz' best-known novels and stories are told from the perspective of a girl, Jette, who—like the author—grows up under fascism in a village in Silesia [<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Vorgeschichten oder Schöne Gegend Probste in</span>, 1970] and is ttiken to Dresden in 1944 at the age of seven by her grandparents [<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Jette</span> in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dresden</span> (West German edition: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mädchenrätsel</span>), 1977 J. Further Jette episodes are contained in the volumes <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Das Erdbeben bei Sangerhausen </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">und andere<br /><br /></span>-5-</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Geschichten</span> (1972) and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Festbeleuchtung</span> (1973). In Schütz' latest novel, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Erziehung zum Chorgesang</span>, Jette is a young woman who has dropped her nickname in favor of the more adult "Julia." It is not the serial nature of the Jette stories but rather their unvarnished account of the experience of fascism and its effects on a girl and her small world which accounts for the attention that has been paid to Schütz' work and her impact on readers in both East and West Germany. Those familiar with Christa Wolf's <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Kindheitsmuster</span> may wish to compare how differently the two authors attempt to deal authentically with the same experience, Wolf with extraordinary complexity and Schütz with childlike naiveté.</p>
<p>Most recently, Helga Schütz published <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Martin Luther</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eine Erzählung für den </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Film</span> (1983). With the exception of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Vorgeschichten</span>, which is out of print, West German editions of all her works have been ordered by Patsy Baudoin and can be obtained through Schoenhof's Foreign Books in Cambridge, Mass.</p>

<p>AN EVENING WITH IRMTRAUD MORGNER</p>
<p>Saturday, October 20, 7:00 pm</p>
<p>Saturday evening's program will be devoted to readings by Irmtraud Morgner, followed by discussion. Morgner is widely acclaimed as the most innovative, witty and pro-feminist writer in the GDR today. Her concern has always been to bridge the gap between theory—the much-touted legal equality for women in the GDR—and the realities of women's daily lives. In Morgner's books, nothing is impossible. In <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Trobadora Beatriz</span> (1974), we followed the adventures of a medieval troubadour who awakens after an 800-year sleep and travels to the GDR in search of a place that is livable for women. (Note the words "in search of"). Now, ten years later, we have the long-awaited second book of the planned trilogy, and we hear the author of <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amanda</span> (1983) grumbling that a certain Irmtraud Morgner didn't tell the story of Beatriz correctly! So Beatriz is brought back again, this time as a siren. Morgner's stories have become more fantastic, the voices—and silences— harder to overhear, the formal experimentation bolder as the realities of the contemporary world have become more dangerous, more urgent. Irmtraud Morgner creates complex and visionary pictures of women's struggles to enter history and humanize the world.</p>
<p>Irmtraud Morgner's major works are: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Hochzeit</span> in <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Konstantinopel</span> (Berlin/DDR & Weimar 1968, Darmstadt & Neuwied 1979); <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Gauklerlegende</span>. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Eine Spielfraungeschichte </span>(Berlin/DDR 1971, München 1971); <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Die wundersamen Reisen Gustavs</span> des <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Weltfahrers </span>(Berlin/ DDR & Weimar 1972, München 1973); <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Leben und Abenteuer der Trobadora Beatriz nach Zeugnissen</span> ihrer <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spielfrau Laura</span> (Berlin/DDR & Weimar 1974, Darmstadt und Neuwied 1976); <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Amanda</span>. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ein Hexenroman</span> (Berlin & Weimar 1983, Darmstadt & Neuwied 1983).</p>

<p>ANNEKE, Mathilde Franziska. Die <span style="text-decoration:underline;">gebrochenen Ketten</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">: </span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Erzählungen</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Reportagen und Reden</span> (1861-1873). Ed. Maria Wagner. Stuttgarter Nachdrücke zu Literatur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts, vol. 11. Stuttgart: Hans-Dieter Heinz Akademischer Verlag (1983). 226 pp. DM 18.</p>
<p>Like other Forty-Eighters, feminist writer and teacher Mathilde Franziska Anneke was firmly committed to the anti-slavery position during the Civil War. The title of the present anthology, which it shares with the first selection in the volume, clearly reflects this stand. Both "Ketten" and the second short story "Sclaven-Auction" expose the evils of the sexual exploitation of black female slaves. The central theme of "Uhland in Texas" is the fate of a benign German estate-owning and slave-holding family during the Civil War. All three fictional pieces were originally serialized in German-American newspapers. In placing them together under the present title, editor Maria Wagner realizes the thwarted efforts of the author, who was unable to publish such an anthology in her lifetime. The addition of journalistic reporting and drafts of speeches makes the collection more representative of Anneke's work as journalist and feminist lecturer. A historical account of Indian/European encounters on Lake Michigan is followed by two Civil War reports, one about the dramatic death of a Union officer during the occupation of Alexandria, Virginia; the other offering behind-the-scenes detail of the battle of Fort Sumpter. They are intensely patriotic on behalf of the Union, fluidly written and very dramatic. The last two pieces are feminist speeches, one held on the occasion of the opening of a German hall in Milwaukee; the other, made on behalf of Susan B. Anthony, pleads for voting rights for women and shows a good understanding of common law and Anthony's test case. Both are eloquent and passionate appeals for the emancipation of women. Anneke is at her best here. The quality of her journalistic prose and of her rhetoric exceeds that of her fiction. However, like the latter, the fiction in this volume makes for fascinating reading and is of great historical, sociological and feminist interest. This should be on all our shelves; useful for advanced classes too. Contains a good introduction.</p>

<p>BOOK REVIEWS (continued)</p>
<p>Friedrichsmeyer, Sara. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Androgyne in Early German Romanticism</span>. Bern, Frankfurt/Main, New York: Peter Lang, 1983.</p>
<p>In this age of Boy George and Michael Jackson, of female vice-presidents and high-fashion menswear for women (to encompass the trivial and the revolutionary!), an historical study of androgyny is certainly timely. Sara Friedrichsmeyer's <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Androgyne in Early German Romanticism</span> provides a survey of the idea from its mythical and religious inception through the early 19th century, but ultimately leaves intact our curiosity about the sociopolitical and social-psychological need for an androgynous ideal in a given society, and the implications of such an ideal for feminists. The book is in need of a methodological introduction. Although Friedrichsmeyer periodically makes reference to the controversial nature of this or that Romantic notion from the contemporary feminist point of view, it is unclear throughout the book where she herself stands on these issues. No contemporary feminist theory, nor any contemporary theory of early Romanticism, is discussed in any detail.</p>
<p>The book's subtitle, "Friedrich Schlegel, Novalis and the Metaphysics of Love," already implies a primarily <span style="text-decoration:underline;">geistesgeschichtliche</span> orientation. The first two chapters provide a useful, though largely descriptive, overview of the history of the androgynous ideal leading to Novalis and Schlegel. In this section and throughout the book, I would welcome the replacement of "man" by "human" in her discussions. The chapters on Novalis represent an important step toward uncovering the complex significance of women and the "female" in his works. Friedrichsmeyer often manages to crystallize Novalis's complex aesthetics, pointing out his basic tendency toward the positing of polarities in the universe, and the search for their sublation as a synthetic unity. She is justifiably critical of the "suggestion of narcissism" associated with Novalis's preoccupation with individual male development (p. 104). However, she falls into some of the traditional traps of one-dimensional Novalis interpretation. To attribute to Novalis an exclusive identification of women with "non-rational, unthinking, organic nature" (p. 67, see also p. 78) is to ignore his critical stance toward Fichte's <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ich/Nichtlch</span> dichotomy and its implications for the philosophy of nature. Similarly, Friedrichsmeyer's assertion that Novalis subscribes to a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Geschichts</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">phi</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;">losophie</span> based on "predestination" (p. 79) reveals a superficial understanding of his developmental theory. Finally, her statement that "there is curiously little advocacy of erotic love" (p. 78) in Novalis's works is off the mark. Friedrichsmeyer would have done well to dive into the "Klingsohr-Marchen" in order to understand both the central role of eroticism and some of the more active and fascinating female figures in Novalis's novel.</p>
<p>Friedrichsmeyer's discussion of Friedrich Schlegel's subtle development from women's/ human rights advocate to metaphysical Romantic is the strongest part of the book. It represents one of the only studies of the early Greek works from the perspective of their notion of female equality. 1 disagree with her rather arbitrary assumption that Schlegel's embrace of male and female polar opposites as necessary prerequisites for androgynous synthesis represented a concession to the Romantic "convention" of his friends, and a denial of his own "instinct" toward<sup>rt</sup>an androgyny synonymous with sexual equality" (p. 161). On the whole, though, 1 find her discussion of Schlegel to be well-balanced and more with historical context and critical content than the Novalis richsmeyer's book is a limited but useful contribution to the of Romanticism's historical and contemporary relevance from a feminist perspective.</p>

<p>Treder, Uta. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Von</span> der <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Hexe zur Hysterikerin</span>. Zur Verfestigungsgeschichte des "Ewig Weiblichen." Bonn: Bouvier, 1984. (Abhandlungen zur Kunst-, Musik- und Literaturwissenschaft, Band 345).</p>
<p>Es lohnt sich, sich durch das erste Kapitel mit seiner zu dichten, daher oft unklaren theoretischen Konstruktion zum Problem Geschichtslosigkeit der Frau und Weiblichkeitsbilder in der Fiktion durchzubeissen. Was da angerissen wird, wird durch die Textanalyse konkret und spannend, wenn Uta Treder in ihrer Analyse realistischer Romane der Gründerzeit auf Spurensicherung des Weiblichen geht. Der Prozess der Domestizierung der bürgerlichen Frau wird anhand der weiblichen Protagonistinnen aus Kellers und Fontanes Romanen nochmals nachgezeichnet. Von Hexen ist dabei weniger die Rede; doch werden die Hexenprozesse im theoretischen Vorspann als Bezugspunkt herangezogen. Sie markieren den ersten Meilenstein auf dem Weg zur Ausbürgerung der Frau aus der Geschichte, und, wie Treder zeigt, feiert die Hexe in der Gestalt der Hysterikerin Auferstehung. Die fiktiven Gestalten der Cecile und Effie dokumentieren, wie auf einer neuen Ebene der Sinnlichkeit, Vitalität und potentiellen Eigenständigkeit der Frau der Prozess gemacht wird.</p>
<p>Die ersten Kapitel über die kindliche Hexe Meret, die untergehende Matriarchin Frau Margret, die "femme fragile" Cécile und die "nervöse" Effi lesen sich wie ein Gang durchs Horrorkabinett des Erziehungsprozesses zur abgerichteten Weiblichkeit, dessen Ziel die völlige Entfremdung der Frau von sich selbst ist. Gleichzeitig entmythisiert Treder auch die "realistische Erzähldistanz" der männlichen Autoren; ihre Sprache trägt Wünsche und Herrschaftsgesten, die ihre Verstrickung in und Teilnahme an dem Domestizierungsprozess der Frau verraten.<br />Die Ambivalenz des bürgerlichen Frauenbildes zwischen Idealisierung und Dämonisierung enthält aber auch seine dialektische Dimension und somit den Hinweis auf seine Überwindbarkeit. Kontrapunktische bringt Treder hierfür die Analyse der Frauengestalten Adine und Fentischka aus zwei Erzählungen von Lou AndreasSalome ein—für mich der verblüffendste Teil von Treders Buch. Aus der Perspektive der weiblichen Autorin werden Facetten der Domestizierung wie weiblicher Masochismus und die Idealisierung des Mannes durch die Frau zu potentiellen Ansätzen eines Bewusstseinprozesses der Frau über die eigene Unterdrückung. Der Weg zur weiblichen Identität und Emanzipation führt, wie Lou Andreas-Salome an Fentischka demonstriert, über die Redefinition der dem repressiven Weiblichkeitsbild zugrunde liegenden Annahme der weiblichen Natur. Damit nimmt Lou Andreas-Salome die Umformulierung weiblicher Natur vorweg, wie er heute vom organischen Teil der Frauenbewegung wie Juliet Mitchell, Luce Irigaray und anderen vertreten wird.</p>
<p>Leider fehlt eine Bibliographie; ansonsten ist Uta Treders Analyse genau das, was ich mir als Schützenhilfe zum Thema Weiblichkeit in der Literatur für Examensoder Kursvorbereitungen immer wünsche: eine feministische Literaturkritik konkret am Text, voller Ansätze und Anregungen zur Diskussion.</p>

<p>OFFENER BRIEF AN DIE JOHANNES GUTENBERG-UNIVERSITÄT MAINZ BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND</p>

<p>z. Hd. des Comités:<br />Renate von Bardeleben, Professor, Amerikanistik<br />Dietrich Briesemeister, Professor, Spanisch<br />Juan Bruce-Novoa, Fulbright Dozent, Chicano Studien<br />An der Hochschule 2<br />6728 Germersheim</p>
<p>Sehr geehrte Kollegen:</p>
<p>Wie wir erfahren haben, wird die Universität Mainz im Juli 1984 eine Konferenz zum Thema Chicano Kultur veranstalten. Wir begrüssen sehr diese Initiative und finden es sehr wichtig, dass die Chicano Kultur in der Bundesrepublik zur Kenntnis genommen wird und dass sie in die wissenschaftliche Diskussion Aufnahme findet.</p>
<p>Sehr bedauern wir jedoch, dass aus USA—mit einer Ausnahme—ausschliesslich männliche Vertreter teilnehmen werden. Uns ist klar, dass sich die Organisatoren nur ungenügend um die Teilnahme von Chicanas bemüht haben. Obwohl die Kriterien der Teilnehmerauswahl uns unbekannt sind, ist uns als Frauen das Resultat sehr bekannt.</p>
<p>Dass es viele qualifizierte Chicana Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen und auch Schriftstellerinnen gibt—bei einer Bevölkerungszahl von etwa 20 Millionen—ist kein Geheimnis. Dass nur eine Chicana an der Mainzer Tagung teilnehmen wird, verdient nicht die Bezeichnung "Zufall." Wir schreiben Ihnen, weil wir wissen, dass die Diskriminierung gegen Frauen oft unbewusst geschieht, und um Ihnen dessen bewusst zu machen.</p>
<p>Als Chicanas und Mitglieder verschiedener Organisationen, einschliesslich von Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social beklagen wir diesen Sachverhalt vor der Öffentlichkeit. Wir werden uns künftig immer dort zu Wort melden, wo die Frauen der Dritten Welt als inexistent behandelt werden.</p>
<p>Mit freundlichem Gruss</p>

<p class="Bodytext30">Number 37<br />August 1985</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">EDITORIAL</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">Since this is the conference issue, we propose the following suggestions, based on discussion of our regional meeting in June (report to follow). The focus of these proposals is to address graduate-student needs and concerns, and how these affect WIG as a whole:</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">---- Providing official time at future WIG conferences for graduate students (a.k.a. Wiglets) only, to discuss issues which affect us. We need this time to organize and become a more cohesive group.</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">---- In keeping with our intention to be a group within a group, we would then bring these concerns/issues to the larger group for discussion.</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">---- Practical workshops on activities of the "profession", i.e. writing CVs, book reviews, job hunting... we want your help and experience!</p>
<p class="Bodytext30">We see these proposals as a way of recognizing and addressing the diversity within WIG. If you have any suggestions, please write us or bring them up in October. <br /><br />Wiglets unite!</p>

<p class="Bodytext20"><b>THIS AND THAT</b></p>
<p class="Bodytext20">WIG-AMHERST REGIONAL CONFERENCE</p>
<p class="Bodytext50">WIG-Amherst held its first regional get-together June 7-8, at the home of Sara Lennox in Northampton. Twelve members participated, as well as several prospective members. Discussion the first evening centered around the need for smaller, regional get- togethers. Several women mentioned feeling isolated/"out of it" both in Germanistik and even in WIG. Each of the five graduate students present brought up the need for a more organized graduate student group within WIG. Although some members perceived this as promoting an un-wiggian sense of hierarchy, the future Wiglets believe that we have an (obviously) different relationship to WIG and to Germanistics than our more "advanced" colleagues. The evening “ ended with a presentation by Lola Gruenthal and Dagmar Stern about the current activities and planned projects of the NY WIG-chapter. Lola and Dagmar encourage all Wiggies to submit creative writing pieces for Frauenfahrplan II.</p>
<p class="Bodytext50">The second day of the weekend started out with presentations of Works-in-progress. Jutta Bernstein briefly discussed her work on Ingeborg Drewitz that she has done in preparation for an interview this summer. Karin Obermeier spoke about her recent work on Karoline von Günderrode. Melissa Vogelsang talked about her concept of the Briefroman as a way that women have dealt with and transcribed a friend's death. Later in the day, discussion returned to previously raised issues. Some new topics brought up in the afternoon were: various "splits" experienced by women in the profession, i. e. German-Jewish tensions; being a feminist/progressive in a traditional, male-identified discipline. The small size of the group provided a safe and open atmosphere for sharing some of the more personal ways that being in Germanistics and in WIG affect us.</p>

If you are employed, please pay the full amount, if you are unemployed, employed less than half time or a student, you need pay only half the normal fee.

<p class="Bodytext20">Dear friends in WIG, </p>
<p class="Bodytext20">I do enjoy receiving the Newsletter and reading about the ’progressive' things that are going on. German departments here are still in the Dark Ages as far as women writers are concerned! The examination syllabuses in secondary schools exclude women almost entirely and the pattern is largely repeated in the universities. It is therefore encouraging to hear about developments taking place elsewhere and particularly about ways of attempting to integrate women writers into existing courses. With best wishes for the continuation of the good work, yours sincerely,</p>

<p class="Bodytext20">To: Women in German </p>
<p class="Bodytext20">Together with a team of translators, including Ilse Andrews, Judy Greene, Gabriele Koch, Annemarie Kuhn, and Victoria Joan Moessner, I am currently editing an anthology of autobiographical texts of German-Jewish women who emigrated after Hitler’s rise to power.<br />The tentative title for the anthology is DREAMS OP A BETTER LIFE: WOKEN IN EXILE. Most of the memoirs were collected at the Leo Baeck Institute (NYC), the Houghton Library (Cambridge), the Germania Judalca (Köln), and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Library (Jerusalem).<br />In order to situate the texts and to build on the bibliography of women artists in exile, I am looking for slides (reproductions) representing the art by/about women in exile. My questions focus on this subject: 1) Do you know of women artists who currently are Involved with the topic matter of ”exile"? 2) Do you know of any past, present, or future exhibitions of women in exile art?<br />Your help will be very much appreciated.<br />Andreas Lixl<br />Dept. of Modern Languages<br />Wabash College<br />Crawfordsville, IN 47933</p>
<p class="Bodytext20">Dear WIG:</p>
<p class="Bodytext20">I have an IREX Grant for September-December 1985 to study the work of GRETE MEISEL-HESS in Leipzig and East Berlin. Melsel-Hess (1879-1922), who was born in Prague, spent her childhood in Vienna and lived in Berlin, wrote theoretical works on women, sexuality, and marriage, novels, and essays in the first two decades of this century. I would very much appreciate hearing from anybody who could suggest people in the GDR or the FRG whom I might contact about this project. Sincerely yours,</p>
