&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;Number 37&lt;br /&gt;August 1985&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;EDITORIAL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;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:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;---- 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;---- 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;---- Practical workshops on activities of the "profession", i.e. writing CVs, book reviews, job hunting... we want your help and experience!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wiglets unite!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;b&gt;THIS AND THAT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;WIG-AMHERST REGIONAL CONFERENCE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;NEWS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Die feministische Linguistik entlarvt die Geschichte und Struktur der Sprachen als Männergeschichte und Männerstruktur. Sprachen als Bau­werke, von Männern errichtet, damit Männer darin wohnen und wohlfühlen können.&lt;br /&gt;Die feministische Linguistik fundiert und dokumentiert die sprachkritische, sprachschöpferische und sprachpolitische Arbeit der Frauen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Über die Männersprache Englisch - Manglisch - sind bereits mehrere Monographien erschienen. Speziell zum Deutschen gibt es bislang nur die wissenschaftlichen und journalistischen Arbeiten der Konstanzer Linguistin Luise F. Pusch, die hier erstmals gesammelt vorgelegt werden. Luise F. Pusch, geboren 1944. Habilitation für Sprachwissenschaft 1978. Seit 1979 Heisenberg-Stipendiatin. Aufsätze und Bücher zur Grammatik des Deutschen, Englischen, Italienischen und Lateinischen. Spezialgebiete:  Kontrastive Linguistik, Übersetzungswissenschaft, feministische Linguistik. Herausgeberin des Bandes Feminismus — Inspektion der Herrenkultur. Ein Handbuch (edition suhrkamp 1192).&lt;/p&gt;

1. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;OVERNIGHT REGISTRATION:&lt;/span&gt; Cost for each night’s accommodation at the Convent of Our Lady of the Angels includes conference registration and expenses, three meals a day, lodging, and snacks.&lt;br /&gt;As in years past, we have calculated registration fees on a dual price structure to try to keep the conference affordable for those less able to pay. 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. However, if you can afford the full fee, we would very much appreciate your paying it so that WIG can help those who cannot pay full fees and con also partially subsidize travel for those who must come long distances.

&lt;p class="Heading50"&gt;-10-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AUS UNSEREM BRIEFKASTEN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Dear friends in WIG,  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;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,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;To: Women in German &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;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).&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;Your help will be very much appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;Andreas Lixl&lt;br /&gt;Dept. of Modern Languages&lt;br /&gt;Wabash College&lt;br /&gt;Crawfordsville, IN 47933&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Dear WIG:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;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,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;AUSSCHREIBUNG FÜR BEITRÄGE FÜR DIE DRITTE TAGUNG VON FRAUEN IN DER LITERATURWISSENSCHAFT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Vorschläge für Beiträge zu den einzelnen Sektionen erbitten wir in der Form eines ein- bis zweiseitigen Exposés/Abstracts bis zum 1. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Oktober 1985&lt;/span&gt; an das Tagungsbüro: Annegret Pelz, Literaturwissenschaftliches Seminar, Universität Hamburg, Von-Melle-Park 6, 2 Hamburg 13, FRG. Um eine intensive Diskussion in den Sektionen zu ermöglichen, sollen die Beiträge in schriftlicher Form bis zum &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;31. März 1986&lt;/span&gt; vorliegen. Sie werden dann vervielfältigt und an alle für eine Sektion angemeldeten Teilnehmerinnen verschickt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sektionen&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;"Frauen und Tod/Tötung&lt;/span&gt;" - Hier soll es um das Verhältnis von Frauen/ Weiblichkeit und Tod in der Literatur gehen, z.B. um: das auffällige Verschwinden von Frauenfiguren in der literarischen Handlung, die Frau als Todbringerin (Medea, Judith, Klytaimnestra u.a.), Selbst­mord und Selbstmordphantasien in der Literatur von Frauen, das Ver­stummen von Frauen, tote Frauen in der Literatur, Aufbruch-Gewalt- und Rachephantasien von Frauen, die Tötung des Männlichen, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;"Eurozentrismus in der Literatur und Literaturtheorie&lt;/span&gt;" - Hier soll es um die AuseinanderSetzung mit Erscheinungen und Strukturen des Eurozentrismus, Rassismus und Antisemitismus in der Literatur gehen, auch in der von Frauen. Zur Diskussion stehen Formen des Exotismus und der Vereinnahmung des Fremden, im weitesten Sinne die schwierige und theoretisch ungeklärte Beziehung zwischen Rassismus und Sexismus. Andererseits sollen die Texte und kulturellen ArtikulatIonsformen von Frauen befragt werden, die nicht dem weißen, bzw. dem euro- amerikanischen Kulturkreis angehören. Denkbar wären z.B, Beiträge über afrikanische, südamerikanische oder schwarze Autorinnen in den USA etc,- auch solche über jüdische Schriftstellerinnen oder Literatur von Ausländerinnen in der BRD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;"Politische Erfahrungen in der Literatur/ Politische Effekte &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;literaris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;cher Strategien"&lt;/span&gt; - Hier soll es um die Thematlsierung politischer Erfahrungen bzw. die Politik als Gegenstand der Literatur von Frauen gehen, ebenso wie um die Diskussion einer Politik des Schreibens. Es geht dabei um einen anderen Politikbegriff bzw. um das Verhältnis des literarischen zum politischen Diskurs von Frauen. Einzelthemen könnten sein: Revolutionserfahrungen von Frauen, Berichte aus dem Gefängnis, dem Exil, dem Widerstand, Heroismus und Heldenkritik, Männerphantasien von "politischen Frauen", der Radikalitäts- und Handlungsbegriff in Texten von Frauen, politische Schreibweisen, der Ort von Frauen in der Avantgarde, zur Realismus­debatte, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-13-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Hamburg Conference (cont'd.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Theorie (Ver)Lust"- Die Entdeckung der Lust an der Theorie im Feminismus ist nicht ein Politik-Verlust, sondern der Übergang zu einer Politik des Denkens, die das Aufbrechen der kategorialen Differenz zwischen wissenschaftlicher und künstlerischer Artikulation einschliest, Zur Diskussion stehen Fragen wie: Schrift/Sprache und sexuelle Differenz, zur Situierung von Weiblichkeit in der Sinn- und Subjektkonstitution, Psychoanalyse: das Unbewußte, die Übertragung, Weiblichkeit und Schrift, Subjektgenese und Imagination, Begehren/ Weiblichkeit im Spannungsfeld der symbolischen Ordnung, der Ort der Frauen in der Postmoderne und ihre Stellung zum Problem der Repräsen­tation, Wahrheit - Prozeß, Archäologie und/oder Dekonstruktion, Möglichkeiten und Implikationen des Diskursbegriffes, die Funktion von Weiblichkeit im vernunftskritischen Diskurs der letzten Jahre.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;Focusing on the quality and functions of women's roles in German culture, this collection addresses a broad spectrum of issues relevant to a better understan­ding of German life and letters. The juxtaposition of analyses of literature, film, pedogogical, and socio­political text provides valuable insights into the forma­tion, conservation, and transmission of cultural values.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhibiting the work of Germanists who synthesize Women's Studies and German Studies, the volume demonstrates the ways in which feminist approaches can enrich the understanding of German culture. The broad range of topics addressed makes this book appealing not only to literature scholars, but to anyone with a keen interest in things German.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 1985, 168 pages&lt;br /&gt;Cloth, 0-8191-4600-5, $22.50&lt;br /&gt;Paper, 0-8191-4601-3, $10.75&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please return to:&lt;br /&gt;University Press of America &lt;br /&gt;4720 Boston Way&lt;br /&gt;Lanham, MD 20706&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISBN &lt;br /&gt;4600-5 Cloth&lt;br /&gt;4601-3 Paper&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AUTHOR &lt;br /&gt;Burkhard./Waldstein&lt;br /&gt;Burkhard./Waldstein&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TITLE&lt;br /&gt;Women in German Yearbook&lt;br /&gt;Women in German Yearbook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUANTITY &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRICE&lt;br /&gt;$22.50&lt;br /&gt;$10.75&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOTAL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Postage and handling ($1.25 for the first book, 50c for each additional book.)&lt;br /&gt;maryland residents add 5% sales tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAME________________________&lt;br /&gt;ADDRESS_____________________&lt;br /&gt;CITY/STATE/ZIP________________&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>Dr. Dinah Jane Dodds&#13;
May 29, 1943-Sept. 12, 2019&#13;
&#13;
Professor Emerita of German Studies Dinah Dodds, a pinnacle of the Lewis &amp; Clark community, passed away after a three-year battle with cancer at the age of 76.  Dodds was beloved by generations of students and faculty alike.&#13;
&#13;
 Beginning her career at LC in 1972, Dodds taught German language and literature for three and a half decades. She also acted as world languages department chair and as divisional dean of arts and humanities. Professor of Hispanic Studies and Spanish Section Head Juan Carlos Toledano Redondo spoke on Dodds transforming the role of the world languages department on campus. &#13;
&#13;
“She pushed for us to be better represented at the campus level,” Toledano Redondo said. “She stressed language as key to a liberal arts education, not just a graduation requirement.” &#13;
Associate Professor of German Language and Literature Katharina Altpeter-Jones fondly remembered the compassion of her mentor. &#13;
&#13;
“When I came for my on-campus interview, I got a real sense of Dinah’s kindness, and her warmth and her joyful nature,” Altpeter-Jones said. “She was a wonderful mentor with a great deal of optimism.”&#13;
&#13;
Altpeter-Jones stressed that Dodds’ compassion was felt by students just as much as faculty. &#13;
&#13;
“She was a firm believer in every single individual student,” Altpeter-Jones said. “She was so dedicated to her students. Her door was always open.” The Dinah Dodds Endowment for International Education was established by Missy Vaux Hall in honor of Dodds to provide funding for LC students of any discipline to expand on  research they start while studying abroad.&#13;
&#13;
Alum Marissa Burke ’15 received the Dinah Dodds endowment. She reflected on how the endowment impacted her overseas experience in Strasbourg. “The Dinah Dodds scholarship allowed me to research my favorite poet, and I am very grateful to have learned about him and his history,” Burke said via email. “Without the scholarship, my research wouldn’t have been possible, and I wouldn’t have been able to follow that curiosity while I was surrounded by all the resources to explore it.”&#13;
&#13;
Annika Clunk ’20 shared similar sentiments about how receiving the endowment greatly influenced her abroad experience after a year in Munich. “(With the scholarship) I was allowed to go to an EU Commission conference,” Clunk said. The conference, held in Brussels, served as inspiration for her thesis. &#13;
&#13;
Dodds’ impact on the community reached far beyond the department in which she taught.  She had a love for music and sang in the Oregon Repertory Singers for over 40 years. In 2011, she returned to campus to chair the music department for two years.&#13;
&#13;
Associate Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities Katherine FitzGibbon spoke fondly of Dodds as her long-time mentor. “I’d ask her questions and advice, much as I would have had she been on campus,” FitzGibbon said. “She was always incredibly supportive and incredibly wise, and would give the best advice.” On the Resonance Ensemble website, FitzGibbon wrote, “There are few words to express the enormity of this loss. Dinah was simply a remarkable human being — a vibrant and passionate leader who devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge and public service to the arts.”&#13;
&#13;
During her retirement, Dodds continued to be an active singer, a board member for the Resonance Ensemble and Portland Experimental Ensemble Theater, and a promoter of the international research endowment and continued to have an active presence on campus. In honor of her investment in the LC community, Dodds was the recipient of the first David Savage award in 2007 for her service and commitment to the college.  “I can’t imagine a human who better epitomizes generous service to others,” FitzGibbon said. “It’s pretty remarkable to think (of) the thousands of us that are carrying a little piece of Dinah forward forever, and that her legacy is going to be never-ending.”&#13;
&#13;
Dinah’s memorial service will be held on Nov. 3 in the Agnes Flanagan Chapel.&#13;

&lt;p class="Heading20"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WOMEN IN GERMAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;November 1982&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Another WiG conference has come and gone. If I had to sum up WiG 1982 in a word--and thank goddess I don’t--I would probably choose &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;action&lt;/span&gt;. Not to describe the various comings and goings, though there were quite a few, but the intense, action-oriented discussion, often leading to suggestions for practical steps we can and should take, as individuals and collectively, to make our organization even more effective, and the need to communi­cate these ideas to the whole membership. The sentence most often addressed to me personally was an imperative: "Put that in the newsletter!"--a grammatical form that also says something about the mood of WiG 1982. I hope you’ll find things you can act on among the many proposals, events and projects resorted on in this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;All was not urgent calls to action, of course; there was a lot to learn and enjoy. The conference summaries will give you some idea of the variety of topics addressed. LUISE RINSER was a vocal and interested participant in most of the sessions, besides giving an animated, delightful reading. She also generously returned her $200 honorarium to WiG, with the proviso that the money be used to buy books for students attending the conference. (Joey Horsley and a representative from Schoenhof books in Boston have worked out the details of this arrangement.) We decided to name Luise Rinser a lifetime &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ehrenmitglied&lt;/span&gt; of WiG in expression of our appre­ciation and respect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Another welcome guest from the other side of the Atlantic was Sigrid Weigel from Hamburg. She announced a conference on femi­nism and Germanistik to take place in Hamburg in May (see announce­ment, p. 26). Sigrid has been a subscriber to WiG for several years, having learned of our existence from American exchange students. She has published on feminist topics, and hopes to form a German coalition of Frauen in Germanistik. She plans to Join us again at MLA in Los Angeles, and will doubtless have more news to report by then. The prospect of our becoming a truly international feminist network seems more concrete because of Sigrid Weigel’s visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The conference in Boston was also, as always, a chance to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Not surprisingly, more women from eastern states attended than ever before, some for the first time (one woman told me she was "long overdue" for a confer­ence like WiG). However, many people noted with some chagrin that there seemed to be fewer students at WiG 1982 than at former conferences. A frequent topic of discussion was "fur den Nachwuchs sorgen," and we agreed that student participation in the conference should be a priority of our "outreach" for 1983. Outreach for 1982 was coordinated by Barbara Wright, who did a heroic job of pre­paring a mailing to 1000 women AATG members in several eastern states. (Responses to that mailing are still coming in as this newsletter is being prepared!) Thanks are due everyone who worked on the conference, but especially to Barbara as general coordi­nator and publicizer; to Joey Horsley for making all the arrange­ments with the conference center and handling registration; and Martha Wallach for her work with the Goethe Institute to arrange Luise Rinser's visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Joey Horsley reports that there &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; be money to give (partial) travel reimbursement to those who requested it after all confer­ence expenses are paid. Joey also sent a list of all 1982 con­ference participants' addresses and phone numbers. If you would like to have this list in addition to the complete WiG membership list (enclosed), write to WiG and it will be sent to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Work and planning are already underway for WiG 1983--see summary of the business meeting and calls for papers. In the meantime, don't forget all the other WiG events, coming up sooner than you think.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The major agenda item for the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;business me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;eting&lt;/span&gt; is discussion of WiG's participation at the 1983 AATG meeting. The topic proposed for &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt; 1983 sessions is WOMEN AND PEACE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Courage&lt;/span&gt; 9 (Sept. 1982) findet ihr einen Bericht über den Frauen- Friedensmarsch Berlin-Wien, 1982. "Nein, nein, das ist nicht wahr, nicht recht, die Frauen sind kein schwach Geschlecht ..." Informa­tionen über weitere Pläne über: Ellen Diederich, Finkenhofstr. 32, 6000 Frankfurt 1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MLA 1982&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Sessions arranged by WiG for MLA 1982:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;(291) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tue. Dec. 28&lt;/span&gt; BUSINESS MEETING AND CASH BAR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;5:15-7:30 pm Presiding: Marianne Burkhard, Linda Pickle&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be a report on decisions made at the WiG business meet­ing at AATG; discussion of plans for WiG at MLA 1983 in New York (proposed topic: WOMEN AND LITERARY HISTORY); news of forthcoming events and projects, etc. Concerning 1983, we need to remember that, beginning in 1983, allied organizations may arrange &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;two &lt;/span&gt;meetings for a convention (with the proviso that a proposal for a third meeting may be submitted to the program committee for review—see MLA newsletter, fall 1982). This affects WiG, since we have always arranged two sessions &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; a business meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are our alternatives?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(610) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Wed. Dec. 29&lt;/span&gt; Film showing: DIE BLEIERNE ZEIT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7:15-9:00 pm                                                 Margareta von Trotta&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The film showing is made possible by the Goethe Institute,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(635) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Wed. Dec. 29&lt;/span&gt; WOMEN AND GERMAN FILM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9:00-10:15 pm Presentation of papers and discussion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See MLA convention program for participants and topics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also of interest to us, especially given the many projects we pro­posed during the 1982 WiG conference, is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(26U) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tues. Dec. 28&lt;/span&gt; OPEN HEARING OF THE MLA COMMISSION ON THE 3:30-5:15 pm                 STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE PROFESSION&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As many of you know, one of WiG's founding mothers, Evelyn Beck (U. Wisconsin, Madison) was recently appointed to the commission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She encourages WiG members to attend the open hearing to state our concerns and to present proposals for projects, forums, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few of the many other sessions that will interest WiG members are:      (29) Feminist Re-Visions of New German Cinema; (104) The Rediscovery of Romanticism by Contemporary German Writers and Lit­erary Critics; (549) Critical Perspectives on Christa Wolf; (666)Brecht and Women. WiG members participating in these and other MLA sessions, please remember to take advantage of the opportunity to spread the word about WiG events and our organization!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As always at MLA there are many conflicts. To give just one&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;example, the WiG business meeting conflicts with:                                                                                                              (285) The Future&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of the Division on Women's Studies in Language and Literature;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(298) The Gay Caucus Cash Bar; (299) The Women's Caucus Cash Bar. (!)--Can't be changed for this year, but we can speak up about it, and try to insist on more thoughtful programming for the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* Update: Marjorie Tussing reports.a possible second film:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Deutschland&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;blei che Mutter&lt;/span&gt; (Helma Sanders-Brahms). If available, it will also be shown on Dec. 28; watch the "Convention Daily."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;MEETING WITH CHRISTA WOLF&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Plans are underway for a one-day meeting for WiG members with Christa Wolf in Columbus, Ohio. The date is &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;April 1983&lt;/span&gt;, just two weeks before the conference on women and fascism, April 28-30, also in Columbus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;All WiG members in the US and Canada will be sent a special first- class mailing containing detailed information about the April 9 meeting, registration form, and so on. If you haven’t received this special mailing by early December, please contact Jeanette Clausen, Dept. of Modern Foreign &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Langu&lt;/span&gt;a&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;ges, Indiana U.-&lt;/span&gt;P&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;urdue U.&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Fort Wayn&lt;/span&gt;e&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;, IN H68O5.&lt;/span&gt; Phones:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;For information on the women and fascism conference, please write to Helen Fehervary, Dept. of German, Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH 1*3210.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;WIG 1982&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;LUISE RINSER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;On Saturday evening (Oct. l6), Luise Rinser read two selections from her works. The first was a section from the Dorothea Lilien­thal story in her novel &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Der schwarze Esel&lt;/span&gt; (1974), which describes the arrest of the old Jewish woman by the Nazis. Rinser then pre­sented parts of her new unpublished novel (still without title), which attempts a new interpretation of the Maria Magdalena figure emphasizing emancipatory aspects. A long, intense discussion followed the readings, focusing primarily on the second text, but it also included general questions about Rinser’s works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;-- Elke Frederiksen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;OBER DIE FRAGE: GIBT ES EINE WEIBLICHE GERMANISTIK?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Oct. 15, 1982. Chaired by Sandy Frieden (U. Houston)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Each of the panelists responded to this question on the basis of her personal experience. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Elke Frederiksen&lt;/span&gt; (U. Md.) outlined some theoretical considerations. She urged conceptual clarification and differentiation ("feministisch,” “weiblich"), quoting Gisela Bock:    "Wir wollen mehr als nur Objekt und Subjekt der Wissenschaft&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;werden:    wir wollen sie und die Gesellschaft verändern. Radikal."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;(opening address, first Frauensommeruni, Berlin 1976). Elke also emphasized that we must guard against having our work relegated to a “Sonderecke für Frauen." &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ruth-Ellen Boetcher Joeres&lt;/span&gt; (U. Minn.) addressed several "problem areas," among them: 1) Women's Studies as a program tends not to acknowledge national literatures other than English and American; (2) many Germanists oppose WS;  (3) new research on women is often regarded with suspicion, by students as well as faculty; (4) conflicts between German and American Germanists; (5) isolation of feminist Germanists; (6) difficulties in doing interdisciplinary research. She urged that we not be intimidated by the "non-specificity" of interdisciplinary work and adopt/adapt new methods while guarding against over-using jargon and ahistorical analysis; she suggested that open-endedness may become the major contribution of feminist aesthetics. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sidonie Cassirer&lt;/span&gt; (Mt. Holyoke), picking up on points the first two speak­ers had made, gave a brief review of how the profession, especi­ally the MLA, has dealt with us since 1969 (when the MLA Commission on the Status of Women was created). She urged that we renew our emphasis on literature within WS, and that we make ourselves visible in new ways in the MLA and other professional organizations &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Jeannine Blackwell&lt;/span&gt; (Indiana U.) sent the following summary of her presentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘‘Anonym, verschollen, trivial. Methodologische Hindernisse in der germanistischen Forschung über Frauenliteratur."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To examine the distorted image of German women’s literature to which we have access primarily through standard reference works of Germanistik, we have to develop new ways of reading the "old" scholarship. Using the examples of Frederike Helene Unger and Therese Huber, I explained that we must learn "rückwärts lesen"-- we must turn articles and lexicon entries backwards to find the interesting, nonconformist information; we have to read appendices and later editions to discover pennames, anonymous writings, discrepancies in dating and false attributions; seek women's writ­ings under the names of fathers, sons, and husbands’, read title pages, forewords, and pictures (rather than library entry cards) to find more information on the author (place, earlier works, familial connections). We have to read 19th and early 20th cen­tury Frauenliteraturlexikone critically. We need to have scholar­ly feminist work on the following topics: Frauenzeitschriften; the differentiation of Frauenliteratur and Trivialliteratur; a new &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Lexikon deutscher Frauen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;der Feder&lt;/span&gt;, with reviews of works and first editions listed, and with short discussions of novels from a feminist perspective. We need research on f.amily connections of female authors: LaRoche-Brentano-Arnim, Wolzogen-Schiller,Karsch-Chezy, Gatterer-Nathusius-Reuter; investigation of women's collaboration on journals, anthologies, etc. (Fouque and Helvig); work on women's income, self-support, and writing--women authors and money. And of course, we need a comprehensive history of German women's literature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeannine Blackwell&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the panel presentations we divided into small groups to come up with concrete suggestions for dealing with the problems raised. Here is Sandy Frieden's summary of the small group reports, which she presented during the concluding session on Sunday, 10-17-82.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sandy emphasized that we must learn to think of ourselves differ­ently:     We, Women in German, are making history, and we need to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;take our WiG identity "out there" (i.e., everywhere), and think of ourselves as agents of change.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ongoing items&lt;/span&gt; for publication in the WiG newsletter: a) re­ports of work in progress; (b) a thematic listing of new transla­tions of women's writings; (c) a listing of WiG members' special­ties (possibly to develop a speakers' bureau, etc.); (d) an ex­change of syllabi on feminist courses we've developed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Projects for potential publication in Germanist journals&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;(a) collect and publish tips on feminist pedagogy; (b) publish articles on integrating feminist methodology and theory into Germanistik; (c) do a survey of German departments to find out where feminist courses are taught. (Ed. note:                                                                                                                   an example of how&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;not to do such a survey is the one published by &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Monat she ft e&lt;/span&gt; in 1978 (Vol. 70, pp. 290-308). I would recommend we use the model of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Everywoman's Guide to Colleges and Universities&lt;/span&gt; (available from The Feminist Press, Old Westbury, NY 11568.                                                                                                            $12.95&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;paper). In other words, we should aim to identify German depart­ments that provide a good environment for feminist study, teach­ing and research in German Studies).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3* &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;For future WiG sessions&lt;/span&gt;: work as a group to update reading lists (for undergrad., M.A., and Ph.D. programs) so that German women writers are included. (This is related to identifying our specialties, l.(c) above, since those who've worked in a given area could make the most informed recommendations).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinat ed WiG projects&lt;/span&gt;: a) publish a new WiG membership list (included in this mailing); (b) make a concerted effort to put pressure on publishers for new editions of out-of-print works, inexpensive editions of new and old works, and new translations; (c) organize a German-American feminist festival; (d) publish WiG conference proceedings; consider forming a publishing collective (the latter idea from Sidonie Cassirer; contact her if you are interested) .&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;PR about WiG&lt;/span&gt;: a) expand the WiG mailing list; distribute the WiG information sheet (the yellow sheet enclosed with this news­letter) to non-members; (b) be mentors for other women ("fur den Nachwuchs sorgen!"); become more visible at regional as well as national MLA meetings; (d) attend interdisciplinary conferences such as WAGS (Western Association for German Studies) and explain WiG's work.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tips&lt;/span&gt;: a) make an effort to get "our things" into university libraries (new editions, translations, etc.); (b) compile a bib­liography of alternative sources (e.g., sources that aren’t "normally" included in, say, a research methods course); (c) in­itiate faculty study groups on your campus; (d) think of other things to do, and let the rest of us know about them!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concluding session: MAKING CONNECTIONS, RESPECTING DIFFERENCES 10-17-82. Chaired by Sara Lennox and Jeanette Clausen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sara opened the session by suggesting that we think about utopias, a theme of Luise Rinser's reading and a structuring theme for WiG (the annual WiG conference as a concrete utopia, a place to begin to realize some of our visions; the larger utopia—beyond getting women's literature into the curriculum). She proposed discussing: l) how Wig 1982 had met and failed to meet our utopian expecta­tions; (2) the larger utopia and what keeps us from making the ' necessary connections (e.g., why did the unspeakable not get spoken?); (3) "Was tun, was nun?" Erste Schritte.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discussion began with language, especially how the language used during the conference affects those attending for the first time. The discussion showed that, however non-hierarchical we strive to be, we may come to WiG with very different hierarchies in terms of our expectations. Some women felt strongly about us­ing more (or only?) German at WiG, especially when the guest author has difficulty understanding English. Others found the mix of languages comfortable and appropriate. Several people reminded the group that individuals may have strong emotional responses to using one or the other language to discuss sensitive (or unspeak­able) topics such as antisemitism. Some were not aware of the policy agreed on a couple of years ago (presentations in the lan­guage preferred by each speaker; discussion in both languages but in German as much as possible in consideration of the guest author).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions for dealing with some of these problems were: l) to provide a list of all conference participants to everyone attend­ing; (2) to consider using a different color name tag for those attending WiG for the first time; (3) to review previous policy decisions at the beginning of the conference or before individual sessions; (h) to have more small groups, especially to begin the conference; to have small groups discuss personal concerns (rather than, or in addition to, focusing on a topic); (5) to ask presenters wishing to speak English to hand out a German summary (or ask presenters to prepare summaries in each language); (6) to specify that some sessions (especially those involving the author and/or her works) be in German, and that others (interdisciplinary sessions and CR-type sessions) be in English (or both languages) and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;announce&lt;/span&gt; this in the conference program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions concerning the conference in general were: to have fewer presentations in each session, with time for discussion after &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;each&lt;/span&gt; presentation; to renew efforts to keep the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;length&lt;/span&gt; of presentations to 10 minutes; for longer sessions, to structure in a 10 or 15-minute break; to announce specific texts to be read ahead of time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions concerning the BUSINESS MEETING were: to get nomina­tions (and, where appropriate, biographical information) to the steering committee in time to have an agenda duplicated and dis­tributed; to assign a &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;time limit&lt;/span&gt; to agenda items to keep them from expanding to fill all the time available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turning to the larger topic ("how can we use feminist Germanistik to change the world?") (not to forget how the world changes us I), we discussed mainstreaming, the need for more grass-roots work, outreach, etc. It was suggested that theoretical developments in Women’s Studies are tending more toward a separatist feminist po­sition, while the practical movement is not, and cannot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concerning "Was tun, was nun?" Sandy Frieden presented her summary of the suggestions that had come out of the small group dis­cussions on Friday evening (see p. 6).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-- summary by Jeannette Clausen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;ERSTE SCHRITTE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the "concrete suggestions" for action? Are you unsure what you personally can do? Here are some things we can &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt; do, as &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;individuals&lt;/span&gt;, starting immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Convince your department to become a SPONSOR of WiG (idea from Leslie Adelson and others at OSU). Sponsoring departments will pay $25*00 per year (or more if they choose) to receive the WiG newsletter and any other WiG mailings. Money generated in this way will be used to help finance WiG projects such as publi­cation of a yearbook or conference proceedings. See &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;revised membership form&lt;/span&gt; at the end of this newsletter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Xerox 5 (or more) copies of the statement about what WiG is (the yellow sheet enclosed with this newsletter) and send it to women Germanists who aren’t yet members inviting them to join (check membership list, enclosed).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Give someone a gift subscription to WiG if you can afford to. (Special offer: you can give &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt; one-year student subscriptions for $5.00!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;H. Encourage students to join WiG, attend conferences, send in proposals. When feasible, encourage students to choose course projects that dovetail with WiG session topics and/or the works of the author we invite. (Do this especially if you are a faculty member).     ’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Try to get your department (or other university office or organization) to fund student travel to WiG. Say it’s important to a course project you're doing (see no. U above) or, if you're a faculty member, to a course students are taking from you. Es­pecially if you are a department chair or other administrator, help others learn how to get funding for travel, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;After you've attended a WiG conference or WiG sessions at other conferences, circulate a short summary of what went on to everyone in your department, offering to share bibliographies, etc. that you've brought back. (idea from Jeannine Blackwell, who was pleasantly surprised at the number of responses she got&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;to her summary of WiG 1982 from her colleagues: "I figured they'd use it for scratch paper, but they read it'.")&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Think about which larger project you'd like to work on, and let WiG know—the newsletter editor and steering committee can put interested people in touch with each other.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;One project will already be underway by the time you read this: &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sydna Weiss&lt;/span&gt; (Hamilton College) and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sidonie Cassirer&lt;/span&gt; (Mt. Holyoke) volunteered to write to all WiG members to collect syllabi for feminist courses, and to investigate possibilities for publishing or otherwise distributing them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*****&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(WiG 1982, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FEMINISTISCHE WISSENSCHAFT 10-15-82. Chaired by Sara Lennox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our five panelists outlined recent developments in various areas of feminist scholarship. Linda Gardiner (Philosophy, Wellesley) located the concerns of feminist philosophy in the political and cultural context of a struggle for civil rights, a tradition of self-help psychology, and the lack of a left party here. Feminist philosophers have concentrated on ethics, the nature and causes of women's oppression, and on philosophy of language and the useful­ness of male methodology for feminists. Barbara Kaltz (Linguistics, Waterloo) distinguished three areas of research in feminist lin­guistics:              language and sexism; language, gender, and power; and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the possibility of a women's language. She argued for linguistic precision (e.g. a distinction between sexist language and the sexist use of language)and said that much of the necessary research remains to be done. Hélène Wenzel (Women's Studies, Yale) dis­cussed recent French thought, stressing the contributions of Hélène Cixous (écriture feminine and writing the body), Luce Irigaray (the mother/daughter relationship, the importance of touch, a female morphology to replace that of male language),&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Julia Kristeva (the semiotic as a component of language deriving from the pre-oedipal relation to the mother), and Monique Wittig (the creator of a feminist discourse which draws on other French literary traditions). Gertraud Gutzmann (German, Smith) discussed themes important for women's writing in the GDR: tradition and generational continuity in women's writing, the importance of the&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;generation of women who built the GDR (Wolf, Morgner, Wander), issues of isolation and alienation in younger GDR women's writing, and the relationship of literature to social changes toward which GDR women aim. Sigrid Weigel (Literaturwissenschaft1iches Seminar, Hamburg) outlined a theory for investigating German women's writ­ing, stressing their participation in and simultaneous exclusion from male norms, producing what she terms "der schielende Blick."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;(A longer version of this talk is published in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Die verborgene Frau&lt;/span&gt;, to appear). The abundance of material presented in this session made it, Wiggles seemed to feel, both frustrating, since there was virtually no time to discuss the many issues the panelists had raised, and extremely fascinating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;-- Sara Lennox&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Bibliography&lt;/span&gt; distributed at the above session&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext40"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(A &lt;/b&gt;selective listing &lt;i&gt;of&lt;/i&gt; works in feminist philosophy from the &lt;b&gt;last &lt;/b&gt;ten years or so» focusing especially on very recent works. &lt;b&gt;The &lt;/b&gt;books which contain substantial further bibliographies are marked with an asterisk.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;RANDBEWEGUNGEN IM DEUTSCHE» SPRACHRAUM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Oct. 15, 1982. Chaired by Linda Pickle and Brigitte Wichmann.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;’’Die neue bundesdeutsche Friedensbewegung.” Der Doppelbeschluß zur ’’Nachrüstung” der NATO vom 12. Dezember 1979 ist die wichtigste Ursache für das große Wachstum der Friedensbewegung in den letzten paar Jahren, das fast allen eine Überraschung war, sogar in der Bewegung selbst. Die NATO hat vor, amerikanische Pershing II-Mittelstreckenraketen und Marschflugkörper (cruise missiles)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;1983 und 198b in Europa, besonders in der BRD, zu stationieren, was ’’das Gleichgewicht des Abschreckens" ändern wird, denn sie hätte zum ersten Mal von Europa aus eine Erstschlagkapazität gegen die UdSSR. Besonders die Krefelder Initiative, eine Gruppe von Kirchenleuten, Wissenschaftlern, ehemaligen hohen Militärs und Vertretern politischer Parteien und Verbände versucht, die Mehrheit der Bundesbürger/innen gegen die Nachrüstung zu gewinnen. Der Kernsatz des Krefelder Appells lautet: "Wir appellieren an die Bundesregierung, die Zustim­mung zur Stationierung von Pershing II-Raketen und Marschflugkörpern in Mitteleuropa zurückzuziehen." Vom 16. November 1980 bis zum Früh­jahr 1982 haben 2,5 Millionen in der BRD den Appell unterzeichnet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Die Teilnahme der christlichen Friedensorganisationen und einzelner Christen ist die wichtigste Basis der neuen bundesdeutschen Friedens­bewegung. Die große Bonner Demonstration vom 10. Oktober 1981 wurde von der evangelischen Aktion Sühnezeichen organisiert. Vom 8. bis zum 22. November 1981 hatten 3000 evangelische Kirchengemeinden Friedenswochen. Die zweite Hauptquelle der Bewegung sind die Gewerkschaftler, obwohl sie heute weniger beitragen als in früheren Jahren. Der Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund selbst bleibt relativ zurück­haltend. Die Ökologie-Bewegung ist nicht nur eine dritte wichtige Quelle der Friedensbewegung, sie ist zum Teil das Vorbild für die lokale und politisch autonome neue Bewegung, die sich erheblich von den allgemein-politischen Orientierungen der älteren friedenspoli­tischen Orientierungen unterscheidet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Viele Deutsche behaupten immer noch, daß die Friedensbewegung eine Randbewegung sei. Ich zitiere Dietmar Schonherr: "Ich habe gesagt-- in einer Live-Sendung des Schweizer Fernsehens--, daß ich es für eine Frechheit halte, wenn 300.000 Leute in Bonn auf die Straße gehen, das als eine Demonstration von Randgruppen zu bezeichnen." Als Germanisten/ innen müssen wir präzis mit der Sprache umgehen. Ich nenne die Friedensbewegung eine Alternativenbewegung, eine lebensnotwendige Alternative zum Wahnsinn der Aufrüstung. Und wenn wir diese Alter­native nicht zur Basis unseres Lebens machen, bleiben wir alle am Rande der atomaren Vernichtung.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE, 10-16-82. Chaired by Angelika Bammer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This session was an exploration of the politics of language--the many (often unacknowledged and unconscious) ways in which social relations of power both shape and, in turn, are shaped by what we say, how we say it, and what remains unsaid. The presentations (by Lynnie Ozer, Marlene Heinemann, Jeanette Clausen) explored the importance of naming ("lesbian," "Jewish," "working-class") as a means of self-affirmation and respectful recognition of our differences. They also, once again, made very evident the fact that naming, in and of itself, will not bring about change as long as the names still function to mark categories of oppression in the society at large. In the ensuing small CR-group discussions, we collectively encountered some of the very language barriers the presentations had brought out. We found how easy and comfortable it is to use our (academically trained) verbal skills to avoid speaking of that which is confusing, painful, and often perceived as shameful to us. Intellectual abstraction, we found, can dis­guise the degree to which we are, in fact, "betroffen." We struggled, finally, with the question of how to use our ability to analyse and verbalize as a tool to help us confront and work our way through the territory of the unspeakable, rather than as a means of talking and getting around it. As each of the small groups in turn shared the result of their discussion with the group as a whole, we concluded, not with answers, but with the questions we wanted to think about and work on in the future. We asked (among other things): How much is important to say? Can one say too much as well as too little? Does naming separate us by reenforcing othernesses or does it create a community in which difference can be acknowledged? Can we identify ourselves in sol­idarity with an oppressed group without being a member of that group personally? Do we make sore spots more sore by touching them? Or does touching, ultimately, heal?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WIG BUSINESS MEETING, Oct. l6, 1982&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chaired by Marianne Burkhard and Linda Pickle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting began with announcements of forthcoming conferences (see list, p. 26).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;It was moved and seconded (Helen Fehervary, Elke Frederiksen) that WiG pursue possibilities for obtaining institutional and other financial support. The motion was approved.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The first agenda item was to elect &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;steering committee&lt;/span&gt; members for vacant slots. Also, some modifications were proposed:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;(a) to lengthen the term to three years instead of two, because continuity is desirable and because the first year may be spent mostly in learning; (b) to make the treasurer/newsletter co­ordinator position ex-officio. This modification allows for six regular members with staggered terms and also gives more flexi­bility since the newsletter position isn't tied to an elected term. The following statement incorporating these modifications was approved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Steering Committee is made up of 6 members of WiG who serve staggered three-year terms, and one ex-officio mem­ber with voting rights who is the treasurer and news­letter coordinator. The two members in their third year of service act as co-chairs for that year. New members are elected at the annual WiG conference but their term begins at the December MLA meeting and ends with the MLA meeting in three years' time. New members elected at the conference serve as non-voting members until the MLA meeting. Unexpected vacancies on the Steering Committee are filled by runners-up in the election. A geographic distribution of SC members is desirable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Steering Committee is responsible for conducting the ongoing business of the organization. They do this in accordance with the charges given them by the WiG member­ship as expressed at the annual conference. Their duties are determined by the concerns of the membership. De­cisions which have to be made in between the yearly con­ferences are accomplished by mail or phone contacts among SC members. Agreement of a majority of the SC members is necessary for such decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Discussion of vacancies and continuing positions followed. Linda Pickle preferred not to extend her term for a third year because she will be on leave. Marianne Burkhard, Martha Wallach, Joey Horsley and Almut Poole were willing to extend their terms. Nominations for the two vacant slots were then discussed. Two nominees, Sandy Frieden and Helen Fehervary, asked to withdraw their names because of their many other commitments but stated that they were willing to serve as alternates in case vacancies came up. Barbara Wright and Jeannine Blackwell were elected by ballot (a landslide) to fill the remaining positions. So, the SC membership now is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1980-         1983: Marianne Burkhard (U. Ill., Urbana), co-chair 1983 and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;chair, political action committee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Martha Wallach (UWGB), co-chair 1983 and fund-raiser for guest author.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1981-         I98H: Joey Horsley (U. Mass., Boston).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Almut Poole (UCLA).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1982-         1985: Barbara Wright (U. Conn.).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeannine Blackwell (IU Bloomington).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Treasurer/Newsletter:                       Jeanette Clausen (IPFW), 1981-?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternates:               Sandy Frieden (U. Houston) and Helen Fehervary (OSU).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ed. note: Outgoing member Linda Pickle chairs the textbook com­mittee, which expects to publish its report in spring 1983. Thus, it seems reasonable to wait until the WiG conference 1983 to de­cide on a new chair for that committee. Other previously proposed SC duties (bibliography committee, outreach, etc.--see "charges, functions and duties," Nov. 1980 newsletter) need to be discussed at a future meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;WIG 1983 (and 1984)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Location&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a long discussion of whether to hold the 1983 Los Angeles area (as proposed last year) or for another year. Ultimately, the group decided on the latter, the major reason being to build a strong active membership in the east (as we had done in the midwest) before moving to another area. The following resolutions were approved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a) to make a strong effort to reach and actively involve west-coast people, starting immediately (and especially during MLA 1982).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;b) to meet in the east at least one more year and review the whole situation again next year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;c) to agree to Thompson Island as an acceptable meeting place for 1983 while investigating other possibilities (the major reason being that flights from most major cities to New York usually cost less than to Boston, so a site easily accessible from La Guardia would probably be preferable to one in Boston). Members who agreed to investigate possible sites were: Martha Wallach, Barbara Wright, Sidonie Cassirer, Edith Waldstein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;d) to hold a 3-day conference again in 1983 (Thursday evening through Sunday noon).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to our previous agreement as to the date (third weekend in October) the dates will be Oct. 13-16, 1983 (unless the con­ference center isn't available then, or some such).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Conference organizers&lt;/span&gt; will be Joey Horsley, Edith Waldstein, Barbara Wright and Martha Wallach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Guest author&lt;/span&gt;, 1983 and 1984&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As agreed last year, IRMTRAUD MORGNER had been invited to be WiG’s guest in 1983. (Many thanks to Karen Achberger for assuming responsibility for contacting her). Morgner sent word that for family reasons she couldn’t accept for 1983 but was interested in being invited for a later date. Accordingly, it was agreed to write her right away to invite her for 1984. (NB: Karen has already done this).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After much discussion, the group voted in favor of inviting BARBARA FRISCHMUTH (Austria) for 1983. (NB: the letter of invitation, written by Karen, who is becoming something of an expert at this, has already gone out, so with luck we may have an answer by the time we meet again at MLA). If Frischmuth is unable to accept, Verena Stefan and Gabriele Meixner will be invited; if they can’t come, Ilse Aichinger will be asked. (Ed. note: if no one wants to come, the steering committee will go into a little frenzy of phone-calling).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Conference Theme and Session Topics&lt;/span&gt;, WiG 1983&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With details still to be worked out by the respective coordinators, sessions agreed on were:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Thursday evening&lt;/span&gt;:                  informal get-acquainted time, possibly with small­&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;group discussions of a personal nature rather than on an assigned topic. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinator needed&lt;/span&gt;, please volunteer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday morning&lt;/span&gt;: Interdisciplinary panel, "Stimme suchen" (presen­tations in English), to include work from feminist psychology on voice, identity, space, conversation, Öffentlichkeit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinators&lt;/span&gt;:                Helen Fehervary, Judith Jamieson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday afternoon:&lt;/span&gt; Literary session (presentations in German), to include discussion of the guest author’s work. Focus will be fantasy if Barbara Frischmuth is the guest (coordinators: Dagmar orenz, Barbara Wright); if Verena Stefan and Gabriele Meixner are the guests, the focus will be translation (coordinators: Jeanette Clausen and another person).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday evening&lt;/span&gt;: CR session, focus on violence against women. Coordinator:     Almut Poole (and another person?).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday morning&lt;/span&gt;: “Stimine Finden." Focus on the personal/professional and how not to have the Split between them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Coordinators:    Jeanine Blackwell, Irmgard Taylor, with Almut Poole&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday afternoon&lt;/span&gt;: Business Meeting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday evening&lt;/span&gt;: Author's reading* followed by discussion. Coordinator:     Karen Achberger (if Barbara Frischmuth is the guest)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sunday morning&lt;/span&gt;: ''Lost Voices/New Voices." Coordinators: Dorothy Rosenberg and Resa Dudovitz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;For detailed announcements received so far* see pp. 18-19.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;4. WiG at AATG, 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The topic agreed upon for both WiG sessions (I. pedagogy;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;II. literature/culture) at the 1983 AATG meeting is WOMEN AND PEACE. Members who volunteered to work on this topic were: Gertraud Gutzman, Helen Fehervary, Margaret Ward* Pat Herminghouse Irmgard Taylor, Laureen Nussbaum, Martha Wallach, Leonora Cayard. Coordinators for the two sessions Will be decided when it is known where the AATG will meet in 1983. If the meeting is in West Ber­lin, WiG members attending will try to plan an extra meeting with feminist Germanists there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;WiG at MLA, 1983 (to be held in New York).     '     •&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Near the end of this four-hour meeting* Helen Fehervary moved that the WiG topic for MLA 1983 be "Women and Literary History," and the exhausted group approved this topic. Since there was neither time nor energy to work Out details, further discussion and appointment of coordinators will take place at MLA 1982.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The final item of discussion was the April 9, 1983 WiG meeting with Christa Wolf. Jeanette Clausen Will coordinate the announce­ments, schedule, and registration; Leslie Adelson (OSU) will co­ordinate logistics in Columbus*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;-- Summary of meeting by JC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;FINANCIAL REPORT: a conservative calculation of WiG finances shows that after all expenses for 198B are paid (including the November newsletter, other mailings, bulk mail permit renewal, and cash bar at MLA) We will still have at least &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;$1100.00&lt;/span&gt; in the WiG account!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WIG 1983: CALLS FOR PAPER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;S&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Friday morning, Interdisciplinary Panel, “Stimme Suchen.” Feminist Perspecties on Work from Other Disciplines (tentative title).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The coordinators see a variety of possibilities for WiG to begin discussing voice from a feminist perspective. Judy Jamieson suggests three broad areas: 1) social studies fields, both theoretical and applied; (2) politics, broadly defined to include media coverage of political events and issues as well as theory and/or women active in the political arena; (3) the arts, again broadly defined to include music, dance, crafts, etc. as well as literature and visual arts. Presentations might focus on German women using their voices in any of these areas. Helen Fehervary is especially interested in new theories of identity, sexuality, Öffentlichkeit, culture. She asks: “Do the findings of contemporary critical theory, structuralism, etc. provide models of discussion which we (feminists) can modify or expand? To what extent does our knowledge of such tradition help/hinder us in the search for women’s voices?” Possible topics might be Focault and the question of sexual and gender identity; Habermas or Negt/Kluge and the notion of Offentlichkeit regarding such forms as the salon; and/or others. Send questions proposals, suggestions to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt;: Helen Fehervary, German Dept., OSU Columbus, OH 43210, and Judith Jamieson, Prividence College, Providence, RI 02918, by April 1, 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Friday evening, Consciousness Raising Session&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Almut Poole is planning a session to deal specifically with rape and sexual assault (rather than dealing superficially with the entire area of violence against women). She proposes to discuss: a) the scope and extent of the problem; (b) causes and prevention models, primarily a contrast of the traditional protection model as espoused by law enforcement and a (re-educational) empowerment model of feminist origin; (c) an analysis of why we have rape in society (possibly using a videotape about one. woman's victimization). The presentation will be followed by CR sessions in small groups. Almut writes: "I'd very much like to see a follow-up on this issue: how does literature deal with it? Another important related issue is language and the importance of language change. And, most of all, how can we incorporate these topics into our teaching?"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Saturday morning, "Stimme finden"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;1. Ten minute presentations (in German or English) on practical strategies for success in finding a voice in the classroom and in the university: for example, getting women authors into the German Dept. curriculum, methods for dealing with the administration, handling classroom problems of gender/genre/performance. One-page-abstracts by March 15, 1983 to both Irmgard Taylor, and Jeannine Blackwell,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="WordSection2"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. We also ask everyone to send in their &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;specific&lt;/span&gt; classroom and university &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;problem situations&lt;/span&gt; : i.e. , racist student remarks, faculty interaction problems, administration refusal of money or space for women's studies projects, lack of German in women's studies courses. Send us your problems: we will try to find so­lutions in the small group discussion, using role playing. Please make the description very brief--less than one page. Send to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both &lt;/span&gt;Irmgard Taylor and Jeannine Blackwell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunday morning, "Lost Voices/New Voices" (tentative title)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Questions we would like to address include: What are the ideolo­gical functions of women's popular literature? What need does popular literature fill? Why have scholars been reluctant to look seriously at women's popular literature past and present?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the relationships between popular literature and the&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Quote from Shaffer’s preface: ”I plead nolo contendere to being a man; but I do not feel that a study on women must necessarily be made by a member of the female sex. ... I do not believe that my sex interfered with my comprehension or in any way prejudiced my analysis of the issues treated in this book.” --Remember this statement when you look for information on lesbian rights; battered women's shelters; foreign women as workers and wives-- to mention a few topics not listed in the index. Still, the book does contain a lot of useful information and should be very help­ful to students, especially undergraduates. I think we should bring it to the attention of Women's Studies programs too, and urge for more courses on women's situations in German-speaking areas.

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Anhand exemplarischer Textanalysen der in den 70er Jahren im Kontext der westdeutschen Frauenbewegung hervorgebrachten Liter­atur werden Entwicklungen und Konzeptionen feministischer Prosa erarbeitet. Das Verhältnis zwischen Emanzipationsstreben und ästhetischer Form wird dabei im kulturellen Nexus betrachtet, um die Frage nach der Existenz einer weiblichen Ästhetik einzu­grenzen und zu präzisieren auf die Frage nach einer feministischen Ästhetik. Diese heuristische Kategorie wird im Prozeß der Analyse am konkreten Material entwickelt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Die Diskussion darüber, was Literatur von Frauen sein und leisten könne und ob es eine "weibliche" Ästhetik gebe, wird vertieft durch die Analyse der Gedanken von Frauen aus der Vergangenheit sowie moderner strukturalistischer Ansätze aus Frankreich und empirischer Untersuchungen in den USA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Other0"&gt;DIE WICHTIGKEIT DER MÄNNER UND DIE ENERGIEN DER FRAUEN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext60"&gt;Dis diesjährige Sommeruniversität für Frauen in Berlin hat die Macht der Männer in vorher nicht gekanntem Ausmaß zu spüren be­kommen. Sie wurde erstmals nicht als förderungswürdige Bildungsver­anstaltung anerkannt, d.h. es gab keinen Bildungsurlaub, so daß berufs­tätige Frauen sich kaum beteiligen konnten. Hauptgrund: Gefährdung der Sittlichkeit. Insbesondere Jugendliche sollten vor einer Bildungsver­anstaltung geschützt werden, an der nicht nur auch lesbische Frauen teilnehmen würden, sondern in deren Rahmen sogar homosexuelle Neigungen zum Thema gemacht würden. Kurz vor Beginn der Sommer­uni wurden auch noch 5 Veranstaltungen schlicht verboten, weil die Gefahr bestünde, daß in ihnen zur Gewalt (gegen die Staatsgewalt) aufgerufen würde.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext60"&gt;Die Tatsache, daß das Lesbenreferat des Allgemeinen Studentenaus­schusses (ASTA der Freien Universität Berlin) als Veranstalter auftrat, mag diese Staatseingriffe erleichtert haben. Nicht nur, weil sich Männer vielleicht provoziert fühlen, wenn Lesben sich offiziell als solche be­zeichnen, sondern auch, weil studentische Vertretungskörperschaften formal kein „politisches Mandat" haben. Darauf aber sich zu berufen, um Verbote zu begründen, heißt lediglich, einen beliebigen juristischen Hebel zu benutzen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Zielsetzung der Tagung ist die Kommunikation zwischen Frauen über Forschungsergebnisse und methodische Erfahrungen bei der Rekonstruk­tion weiblicher Kulturgeschichte. Wir wollen in erster Linie Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen, aber auch Frauen, die in anderen Fächern feministische Forschung betreiben, ansprechen. Die Tagung soll einen Überblick über den Stand historischer Forschung und Theorieentvicklung ermöglichen. Alle Teilnehmerinnen sollten die Ergebnisse und Probleme ihrer Projekte im Hinblick auf feministische Theoriebildung und Kulturkritik in die Diskussion einbringen. Am Ende der Tagung sollten Überlegungen und Planungen stehen, die eine kontinuierliche Weiterarbeit und Zusammenarbeit unter den beteiligten Wissenschaftlerinnen ermöglichen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Geplanter Tagungsverlauf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Theoretische Überlegungen und historische Beispiele aus dem Gebiet "Frauenbilder”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Theoretische Überlegungen und historische Beispiele aus dem Gebiet "Frauenliteratur"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Projektvorstellungen aus den Gebieten "Frauenbilder" und "Frauenliteratur"&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;4. Feministische Wissenschaft in Geschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Psychoanalyse und anderen Disziplinen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;5. Feministische Wissenschaft - Erfahrungen in den USA und Per­spektiven in der BRD&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Alle, die interessiert und weitere Informationen haben wollen, bitten wir sich zu wenden an Inge Stephan/Sigrid Weigel, Literaturwissenshaftliches Seminar,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This newsletter was typed by Marilyn Gibbons (Women's Studies, IPFW) and Connie Munk (Mod. For. Lang., IPFW). During this same week, they also typed and mailed the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Femini st as Uni das&lt;/span&gt; newsletter, took care of their families, attended classes and did their work in their departments. Connie and Marilyn stand for many other women without whom organizations like ours couldn’t work. Please remember them when you read this newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Unlike most professional organizations, WOMEN IN GERMAN has not&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;raised its rates in the past three years. We are able to keep rates low for students and the unemployed in part because of individual members who voluntarily pay the supporting membership rates (see dues structure below). Membership/subscription money is used to finance the publication of the WiG newsletter (three issues per year, March, August, November) and to partially cover expenses for the annual WiG conference and other events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;As part of our efforts to generate additional funds to support more extensive WiG projects, such as publication of conference proceedings, we have added an additional category, sponsoring departments. Besides receiving the newsletter and other information sent to the WiG member­ship as a whole, German departments which become WiG sponsors will be eligible to purchase published materials at the same discount available to individual members. Also, they will be listed as sponsors in the August issue of the newsletter and in any publications partially funded through their support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Please fill out this section, detach and return with check (payable to Women in German) to: WOMEN IN GERMAN, Dept. of Modern Foreign Languages, Indiana U.-Purdue U., Fort Wayne, IN H68O5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Heading20"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WOMEN IN GERMAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Number 29&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;November 1982&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Another WiG conference has come and gone. If I had to sum up WiG 1982 in a word--and thank goddess I don’t--I would probably choose &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;action&lt;/span&gt;. Not to describe the various comings and goings, though there were quite a few, but the intense, action-oriented discussion, often leading to suggestions for practical steps we can and should take, as individuals and collectively, to make our organization even more effective, and the need to communi­cate these ideas to the whole membership. The sentence most often addressed to me personally was an imperative: "Put that in the newsletter!"--a grammatical form that also says something about the mood of WiG 1982. I hope you’ll find things you can act on among the many proposals, events and projects resorted on in this issue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;All was not urgent calls to action, of course; there was a lot to learn and enjoy. The conference summaries will give you some idea of the variety of topics addressed. LUISE RINSER was a vocal and interested participant in most of the sessions, besides giving an animated, delightful reading. She also generously returned her $200 honorarium to WiG, with the proviso that the money be used to buy books for students attending the conference. (Joey Horsley and a representative from Schoenhof books in Boston have worked out the details of this arrangement.) We decided to name Luise Rinser a lifetime &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ehrenmitglied&lt;/span&gt; of WiG in expression of our appre­ciation and respect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Another welcome guest from the other side of the Atlantic was Sigrid Weigel from Hamburg. She announced a conference on femi­nism and Germanistik to take place in Hamburg in May (see announce­ment, p. 26). Sigrid has been a subscriber to WiG for several years, having learned of our existence from American exchange students. She has published on feminist topics, and hopes to form a German coalition of Frauen in Germanistik. She plans to join us again at MLA in Los Angeles, and will doubtless have more news to report by then. The prospect of our becoming a truly international feminist network seems more concrete because of Sigrid Weigel’s visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The conference in Boston was also, as always, a chance to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Not surprisingly, more women from eastern states attended than ever before, some for the first time (one woman told me she was "long overdue" for a confer­ence like WiG). However, many people noted with some chagrin that there seemed to be fewer students at WiG 1982 than at former conferences. A frequent topic of discussion was "für den Nachwuchs sorgen," and we agreed that student participation in the conference should be a priority of our "outreach" for 1983. Outreach for 1982 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;was coordinated by Barbara Wright, who did a heroic job of pre­paring a mailing to 1000 women AATG members in several eastern states. (Responses to that mailing are still coming in as this newsletter is being prepared!) Thanks are due everyone who worked on the conference, but especially to Barbara as general coordi­nator and publicizer; to Joey Horsley for making all the arrange­ments with the conference center and handling registration; and Martha Wallach for her work with the Goethe Institute to arrange Luise Rinser's visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Joey Horsley reports that there &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; be money to give (partial) travel reimbursement to those who requested it after all confer­ence expenses are paid. Joey also sent a list of all 1982 con­ference participants' addresses and phone numbers. If you would like to have this list in addition to the complete WiG membership list (enclosed), write to WiG and it will be sent to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Work and planning are already underway for WiG 1983--see summary of the business meeting and calls for papers. In the meantime, don't forget all the other WiG events, coming up sooner than you think.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WOMEN IN GERMAN BUSINESS MEETING&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See August 1982 issue of WiG or AATG newsletter for workshop and session participants and topics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The major agenda item for the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;business me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;eting&lt;/span&gt; is discussion of WiG's participation at the 1983 AATG meeting. The topic proposed for &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt; 1983 sessions is WOMEN AND PEACE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Courage&lt;/span&gt; 9 (Sept. 1982) findet ihr einen Bericht über den Frauen-Friedensmarsch Berlin-Wien, 1982.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MLA 1982&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;Sessions arranged by WiG for MLA 1982:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;(291) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tue. Dec. 28&lt;/span&gt; BUSINESS MEETING AND CASH BAR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;5:15-7:30 pm Presiding: Marianne Burkhard, Linda Pickle&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be a report on decisions made at the WiG business meet­ing at AATG; discussion of plans for WiG at MLA 1983 in New York (proposed topic: WOMEN AND LITERARY HISTORY); news of forthcoming events and projects, etc. Concerning 1983, we need to remember that, beginning in 1983, allied organizations may arrange &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;two &lt;/span&gt;meetings for a convention (with the proviso that a proposal for a third meeting may be submitted to the program committee for review—see MLA newsletter, fall 1982). This affects WiG, since we have always arranged two sessions &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; a business meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are our alternatives?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(610) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Wed. Dec. 29&lt;/span&gt; Film showing: DIE BLEIERNE ZEIT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7:15-9:00 pm                                                 Margareta von Trotta&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The film showing is made possible by the Goethe Institute, San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(635) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Wed. Dec. 29&lt;/span&gt; WOMEN AND GERMAN FILM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9:00-10:15 pm Presentation of papers and discussion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See MLA convention program for participants and topics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also of interest to us, especially given the many projects we pro­posed during the 1982 WiG conference, is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(264) &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tues. Dec. 28&lt;/span&gt;, 3:30-5:15 pm OPEN HEARING OF THE MLA COMMISSION ON THE    STATUS OF WOMEN IN THE PROFESSION&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As many of you know, one of WiG's founding mothers, Evelyn Beck (U. Wisconsin, Madison) was recently appointed to the commission. She encourages WiG members to attend the open hearing to state our concerns and to present proposals for projects, forums, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few of the many other sessions that will interest WiG members are: (29) Feminist Re-Visions of New German Cinema; (104) The Rediscovery of Romanticism by Contemporary German Writers and Lit­erary Critics; (549) Critical Perspectives on Christa Wolf; (666) Brecht and Women. WiG members participating in these and other MLA sessions, please remember to take advantage of the opportunity to spread the word about WiG events and our organization!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As always at MLA there are many conflicts. To give just one example, the WiG business meeting conflicts with: (285) The Future of the Division on Women's Studies in Language and Literature; (298) The Gay Caucus Cash Bar; (299) The Women's Caucus Cash Bar. (!)--Can't be changed for this year, but we can speak up about it, and try to insist on more thoughtful programming for the future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* Update: Marjorie Tussing reports a possible second film: &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Deutschland&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;bleiche Mutter&lt;/span&gt; (Helma Sanders-Brahms). If available, it will also be shown on Dec. 28; watch the "Convention Daily."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 4&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MEETING WITH CHRISTA WOLF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Plans are underway for a one-day meeting for WiG members with Christa Wolf in Columbus, Ohio. The date is &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;April 9, 1983&lt;/span&gt;, just two weeks before the conference on women and fascism, April 28-30, also in Columbus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;All WiG members in the US and Canada will be sent a special first- class mailing containing detailed information about the April 9 meeting, registration form, and so on. If you haven’t received this special mailing by early December, please contact Jeanette Clausen, Dept. of Modern Foreign &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Langu&lt;/span&gt;a&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;ges, Indiana U.-&lt;/span&gt;P&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;urdue U.&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Fort Wayn&lt;/span&gt;e&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;, IN H68O5.&lt;/span&gt; Phones: [redacted]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;For information on the women and fascism conference, please write to Helen Fehervary, Dept. of German, Ohio State Univ., Columbus, OH 43210.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WIG 1982&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;LUISE RINSER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;On Saturday evening (Oct. l6), Luise Rinser read two selections from her works. The first was a section from the Dorothea Lilien­thal story in her novel &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Der schwarze Esel&lt;/span&gt; (1974), which describes the arrest of the old Jewish woman by the Nazis. Rinser then pre­sented parts of her new unpublished novel (still without title), which attempts a new interpretation of the Maria Magdalena figure emphasizing emancipatory aspects. A long, intense discussion followed the readings, focusing primarily on the second text, but it also included general questions about Rinser’s works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;-- Elke Frederiksen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;ÜBER DIE FRAGE: GIBT ES EINE WEIBLICHE GERMANISTIK?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Oct. 15, 1982. Chaired by Sandy Frieden (U. Houston)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Each of the panelists responded to this question on the basis of her personal experience. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Elke Frederiksen&lt;/span&gt; (U. Md.) outlined some theoretical considerations. She urged conceptual clarification and differentiation ("feministisch,” “weiblich"), quoting Gisela Bock: "Wir wollen mehr als nur Objekt und Subjekt der Wissenschaft werden: wir wollen sie und die Gesellschaft verändern. Radikal." (opening address, first Frauensommeruni, Berlin 1976). Elke also emphasized that we must guard against having our work relegated to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 5&lt;br /&gt;(weibliche Germanistik, continued)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a “Sonderecke für Frauen." &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ruth-Ellen Boetcher Joeres&lt;/span&gt; (U. Minn.) addressed several "problem areas," among them: 1) Women's Studies as a program tends not to acknowledge national literatures other than English and American; (2) many Germanists oppose WS; (3) new research on women is often regarded with suspicion, by students as well as faculty; (4) conflicts between German and American Germanists; (5) isolation of feminist Germanists; (6) difficulties in doing interdisciplinary research. She urged that we not be intimidated by the "non-specificity" of interdisciplinary work and adopt/adapt new methods while guarding against over-using jargon and ahistorical analysis; she suggested that open-endedness may become the major contribution of feminist aesthetics. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sidonie Cassirer&lt;/span&gt; (Mt. Holyoke), picking up on points the first two speak­ers had made, gave a brief review of how the profession, especi­ally the MLA, has dealt with us since 1969 (when the MLA Commission on the Status of Women was created). She urged that we renew our emphasis on literature within WS, and that we make ourselves visible in new ways in the MLA and other professional organizations &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Jeannine Blackwell&lt;/span&gt; (Indiana U.) sent the following summary of her presentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘‘Anonym, verschollen, trivial. Methodologische Hindernisse in der germanistischen Forschung über Frauenliteratur."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To examine the distorted image of German women’s literature to which we have access primarily through standard reference works of Germanistik, we have to develop new ways of reading the "old" scholarship. Using the examples of Frederike Helene Unger and Therese Huber, I explained that we must learn "rückwärts lesen"-- we must turn articles and lexicon entries backwards to find the interesting, nonconformist information; we have to read appendices and later editions to discover pennames, anonymous writings, discrepancies in dating and false attributions; seek women's writ­ings under the names of fathers, sons, and husbands’, read title pages, forewords, and pictures (rather than library entry cards) to find more information on the author (place, earlier works, familial connections). We have to read 19th and early 20th cen­tury Frauenliteraturlexikone critically. We need to have scholar­ly feminist work on the following topics: Frauenzeitschriften; the differentiation of Frauenliteratur and Trivialliteratur; a new &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Lexikon deutscher Frauen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;der Feder&lt;/span&gt;, with reviews of works and first editions listed, and with short discussions of novels from a feminist perspective. We need research on f.amily connections of female authors: LaRoche-Brentano-Arnim, Wolzogen-Schiller,Karsch-Chezy, Gatterer-Nathusius-Reuter; investigation of women's collaboration on journals, anthologies, etc. (Fouque and Helvig); work on women's income, self-support, and writing--women authors and money. And of course, we need a comprehensive history of German women's literature.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-- Jeannine Blackwell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 6&lt;br /&gt;(weibliche Germanistik, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the panel presentations we divided into small groups to come up with concrete suggestions for dealing with the problems raised. Here is Sandy Frieden's summary of the small group reports, which she presented during the concluding session on Sunday, 10-17-82.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sandy emphasized that we must learn to think of ourselves differ­ently: We, Women in German, are making history, and we need to take our WiG identity "out there" (i.e., everywhere), and think of ourselves as agents of change.&lt;/p&gt;
1. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Ongoing items&lt;/span&gt; for publication in the WiG newsletter: a) re­ports of work in progress; (b) a thematic listing of new transla­tions of women's writings; (c) a listing of WiG members' special­ties (possibly to develop a speakers' bureau, etc.); (d) an ex­change of syllabi on feminist courses we've developed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;2. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Projects for potential publication in Germanist journals&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(a) collect and publish tips on feminist pedagogy; (b) publish articles on integrating feminist methodology and theory into Germanistik; (c) do a survey of German departments to find out where feminist courses are taught. (Ed. note: an example of how not to do such a survey is the one published by &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Monatshefte&lt;/span&gt; in 1978 (Vol. 70, pp. 290-308). I would recommend we use the model of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Everywoman's Guide to Colleges and Universities&lt;/span&gt; (available from The Feminist Press, Old Westbury, NY 11568. $12.95 paper). In other words, we should aim to identify German depart­ments that provide a good environment for feminist study, teach­ing and research in German Studies).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;For future WiG sessions&lt;/span&gt;: work as a group to update reading lists (for undergrad., M.A., and Ph.D. programs) so that German women writers are included. (This is related to identifying our specialties, 1.(c) above, since those who've worked in a given area could make the most informed recommendations).&lt;/p&gt;
4. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinated WiG projects&lt;/span&gt;: a) publish a new WiG membership list (included in this mailing); (b) make a concerted effort to put pressure on publishers for new editions of out-of-print works, inexpensive editions of new and old works, and new translations; (c) organize a German-American feminist festival; (d) publish WiG conference proceedings; consider forming a publishing collective (the latter idea from Sidonie Cassirer; contact her if you are interested) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;5. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;PR about WiG&lt;/span&gt;: a) expand the WiG mailing list; distribute the WiG information sheet (the yellow sheet enclosed with this news­letter) to non-members; (b) be mentors for other women ("für den Nachwuchs sorgen!"); become more visible at regional as well as national MLA meetings; (d) attend interdisciplinary conferences such as WAGS (Western Association for German Studies) and explain WiG's work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 7&lt;br /&gt;(weibliche Germanistik. continued)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;6. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Tips&lt;/span&gt;: a) make an effort to get "our things" into university libraries (new editions, translations, etc.); (b) compile a bib­liography of alternative sources (e.g., sources that aren’t "normally" included in, say, a research methods course); (c) in­itiate faculty study groups on your campus; (d) think of other things to do, and let the rest of us know about them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concluding session: MAKING CONNECTIONS, RESPECTING DIFFERENCES 10-17-82. Chaired by Sara Lennox and Jeanette Clausen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sara opened the session by suggesting that we think about utopias, a theme of Luise Rinser's reading and a structuring theme for WiG (the annual WiG conference as a concrete utopia, a place to begin to realize some of our visions; the larger utopia—beyond getting women's literature into the curriculum). She proposed discussing: 1) how Wig 1982 had met and failed to meet our utopian expecta­tions; (2) the larger utopia and what keeps us from making the ' necessary connections (e.g., why did the unspeakable not get spoken?); (3) "Was tun, was nun?" Erste Schritte.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The discussion began with language, especially how the language used during the conference affects those attending for the first time. The discussion showed that, however non-hierarchical we strive to be, we may come to WiG with very different hierarchies in terms of our expectations. Some women felt strongly about us­ing more (or only?) German at WiG, especially when the guest author has difficulty understanding English. Others found the mix of languages comfortable and appropriate. Several people reminded the group that individuals may have strong emotional responses to using one or the other language to discuss sensitive (or unspeak­able) topics such as antisemitism. Some were not aware of the policy agreed on a couple of years ago (presentations in the lan­guage preferred by each speaker; discussion in both languages but in German as much as possible in consideration of the guest author).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions for dealing with some of these problems were: 1) to provide a list of all conference participants to everyone attend­ing; (2) to consider using a different color name tag for those attending WiG for the first time; (3) to review previous policy decisions at the beginning of the conference or before individual sessions; (4) to have more small groups, especially to begin the conference; to have small groups discuss personal concerns (rather than, or in addition to, focusing on a topic); (5) to ask presenters wishing to speak English to hand out a German summary (or ask presenters to prepare summaries in each language); (6) to specify that some sessions (especially those involving the author and/or her works) be in German, and that others (interdisciplinary sessions and CR-type sessions) be in English (or both languages) and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;announce&lt;/span&gt; this in the conference program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions concerning the conference in general were: to have fewer presentations in each session, with time for discussion after &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;each&lt;/span&gt; presentation; to renew efforts to keep the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;length&lt;/span&gt; of presentations to 10 minutes; for longer sessions, to structure in a 10 or 15-minute break; to announce specific texts to be read ahead of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 8&lt;br /&gt;(Concluding session, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Suggestions concerning the BUSINESS MEETING were: to get nomina­tions (and, where appropriate, biographical information) to the steering committee in time to have an agenda duplicated and dis­tributed; to assign a &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;time limit&lt;/span&gt; to agenda items to keep them from expanding to fill all the time available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turning to the larger topic ("how can we use feminist Germanistik to change the world?") (not to forget how the world changes us!), we discussed mainstreaming, the need for more grass-roots work, outreach, etc. It was suggested that theoretical developments in Women’s Studies are tending more toward a separatist feminist po­sition, while the practical movement is not, and cannot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concerning "Was tun, was nun?" Sandy Frieden presented her summary of the suggestions that had come out of the small group dis­cussions on Friday evening (see p. 6).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-- summary by Jeannette Clausen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ERSTE SCHRITTE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the "concrete suggestions" for action? Are you unsure what you personally can do? Here are some things we can &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt; do, as &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;individuals&lt;/span&gt;, starting immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
1. Convince your department to become a SPONSOR of WiG (idea from Leslie Adelson and others at OSU). Sponsoring departments will pay $25.00 per year (or more if they choose) to receive the WiG newsletter and any other WiG mailings. Money generated in this way will be used to help finance WiG projects such as publi­cation of a yearbook or conference proceedings. See &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;revised membership form&lt;/span&gt; at the end of this newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Xerox 5 (or more) copies of the statement about what WiG is (the yellow sheet enclosed with this newsletter) and send it to women Germanists who aren’t yet members inviting them to join (check membership list, enclosed).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Give someone a gift subscription to WiG if you can afford to. (Special offer: you can give &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt; one-year student subscriptions for $5.00!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Encourage students to join WiG, attend conferences, send in proposals. When feasible, encourage students to choose course projects that dovetail with WiG session topics and/or the works of the author we invite. (Do this especially if you are a faculty member).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 9&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Erste Schritte, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
5. Try to get your department (or other university office or organization) to fund student travel to WiG. Say it’s important to a course project you're doing (see no. 4 above) or, if you're a faculty member, to a course students are taking from you. Es­pecially if you are a department chair or other administrator, help others learn how to get funding for travel, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. After you've attended a WiG conference or WiG sessions at other conferences, circulate a short summary of what went on to everyone in your department, offering to share bibliographies, etc. that you've brought back. (Idea from Jeannine Blackwell, who was pleasantly surprised at the number of responses she got to her summary of WiG 1982 from her colleagues: "I figured they'd use it for scratch paper, but they read it!")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Think about which larger project you'd like to work on, and let WiG know—the newsletter editor and steering committee can put interested people in touch with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One project will already be underway by the time you read this: &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sydna Weiss&lt;/span&gt; (Hamilton College) and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sidonie Cassirer&lt;/span&gt; (Mt. Holyoke) volunteered to write to all WiG members to collect syllabi for feminist courses, and to investigate possibilities for publishing or otherwise distributing them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*****&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(WiG 1982, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FEMINISTISCHE WISSENSCHAFT 10-15-82. Chaired by Sara Lennox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our five panelists outlined recent developments in various areas of feminist scholarship. Linda Gardiner (Philosophy, Wellesley) located the concerns of feminist philosophy in the political and cultural context of a struggle for civil rights, a tradition of self-help psychology, and the lack of a left party here. Feminist philosophers have concentrated on ethics, the nature and causes of women's oppression, and on philosophy of language and the useful­ness of male methodology for feminists. Barbara Kaltz (Linguistics, Waterloo) distinguished three areas of research in feminist lin­guistics:              language and sexism; language, gender, and power; and the possibility of a women's language. She argued for linguistic precision (e.g. a distinction between sexist language and the sexist use of language)and said that much of the necessary research remains to be done. Hélène Wenzel (Women's Studies, Yale) dis­cussed recent French thought, stressing the contributions of Hélène Cixous (écriture feminine and writing the body), Luce Irigaray (the mother/daughter relationship, the importance of touch, a female morphology to replace that of male language), Julia Kristeva (the semiotic as a component of language deriving from the pre-oedipal relation to the mother), and Monique Wittig (the creator of a feminist discourse which draws on other French literary traditions). Gertraud Gutzmann (German, Smith) discussed themes important for women's writing in the GDR: tradition and generational continuity in women's writing, the importance of the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 10&lt;br /&gt;(Feministische Wissenschaft, cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext50"&gt;generation of women who built the GDR (Wolf, Morgner, Wander), issues of isolation and alienation in younger GDR women's writing, and the relationship of literature to social changes toward which GDR women aim. Sigrid Weigel (Literaturwissenschaft1iches Seminar, Hamburg) outlined a theory for investigating German women's writ­ing, stressing their participation in and simultaneous exclusion from male norms, producing what she terms "der schielende Blick."(A longer version of this talk is published in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Die verborgene Frau&lt;/span&gt;, to appear). The abundance of material presented in this session made it, Wiggles seemed to feel, both frustrating, since there was virtually no time to discuss the many issues the panelists had raised, and extremely fascinating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;RANDBEWEGUNGEN IM DEUTSCHEN SPRACHRAUM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Oct. 15, 1982. Chaired by Linda Pickle and Brigitte Wichmann.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;’’Die neue bundesdeutsche Friedensbewegung.” Der Doppelbeschluß zur ’’Nachrüstung” der NATO vom 12. Dezember 1979 ist die wichtigste Ursache für das große Wachstum der Friedensbewegung in den letzten paar Jahren, das fast allen eine Überraschung war, sogar in der Bewegung selbst. Die NATO hat vor, amerikanische Pershing II-Mittelstreckenraketen und Marschflugkörper (cruise missiles) 1983 und 1984 in Europa, besonders in der BRD, zu stationieren, was ’’das Gleichgewicht des Abschreckens" ändern wird, denn sie hätte zum ersten Mal von Europa aus eine Erstschlagkapazität gegen die UdSSR. Besonders die Krefelder Initiative, eine Gruppe von Kirchenleuten, Wissenschaftlern, ehemaligen hohen Militärs und Vertretern politischer Parteien und Verbände versucht, die Mehrheit der Bundesbürger/innen gegen die Nachrüstung zu gewinnen. Der Kernsatz des Krefelder Appells lautet: "Wir appellieren an die Bundesregierung, die Zustim­mung zur Stationierung von Pershing II-Raketen und Marschflugkörpern in Mitteleuropa zurückzuziehen." Vom 16. November 1980 bis zum Früh­jahr 1982 haben 2,5 Millionen in der BRD den Appell unterzeichnet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Die Teilnahme der christlichen Friedensorganisationen und einzelner Christen ist die wichtigste Basis der neuen bundesdeutschen Friedens­bewegung. Die große Bonner Demonstration vom 10. Oktober 1981 wurde von der evangelischen Aktion Sühnezeichen organisiert. Vom 8. bis zum 22. November 1981 hatten 3000 evangelische Kirchengemeinden Friedenswochen. Die zweite Hauptquelle der Bewegung sind die Gewerkschaftler, obwohl sie heute weniger beitragen als in früheren Jahren. Der Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund selbst bleibt relativ zurück­haltend. Die Ökologie-Bewegung ist nicht nur eine dritte wichtige Quelle der Friedensbewegung, sie ist zum Teil das Vorbild für die lokale und politisch autonome neue Bewegung, die sich erheblich von den allgemein-politischen Orientierungen der älteren friedenspoli­tischen Orientierungen unterscheidet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Viele Deutsche behaupten immer noch, daß die Friedensbewegung eine Randbewegung sei. Ich zitiere Dietmar Schonherr: "Ich habe gesagt-- in einer Live-Sendung des Schweizer Fernsehens--, daß ich es für eine Frechheit halte, wenn 300.000 Leute in Bonn auf die Straße gehen, das als eine Demonstration von Randgruppen zu bezeichnen." Als Germanisten/ innen müssen wir präzis mit der Sprache umgehen. Ich nenne die Friedensbewegung eine Alternativenbewegung, eine lebensnotwendige Alternative zum Wahnsinn der Aufrüstung. Und wenn wir diese Alter­native nicht zur Basis unseres Lebens machen, bleiben wir alle am Rande der atomaren Vernichtung.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE, 10-16-82. Chaired by Angelika Bammer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This session was an exploration of the politics of language--the many (often unacknowledged and unconscious) ways in which social relations of power both shape and, in turn, are shaped by what we say, how we say it, and what remains unsaid. The presentations (by Lynnie Ozer, Marlene Heinemann, Jeanette Clausen) explored the importance of naming ("lesbian," "Jewish," "working-class") as a means of self-affirmation and respectful recognition of our differences. They also, once again, made very evident the fact that naming, in and of itself, will not bring about change as long as the names still function to mark categories of oppression in the society at large. In the ensuing small CR-group discussions, we collectively encountered some of the very language barriers the presentations had brought out. We found how easy and comfortable it is to use our (academically trained) verbal skills to avoid speaking of that which is confusing, painful, and often perceived as shameful to us. Intellectual abstraction, we found, can dis­guise the degree to which we are, in fact, "betroffen." We struggled, finally, with the question of how to use our ability to analyse and verbalize as a tool to help us confront and work our way through the territory of the unspeakable, rather than as a means of talking and getting around it. As each of the small groups in turn shared the result of their discussion with the group as a whole, we concluded, not with answers, but with the questions we wanted to think about and work on in the future. We asked (among other things): How much is important to say? Can one say too much as well as too little? Does naming separate us by reenforcing othernesses or does it create a community in which difference can be acknowledged? Can we identify ourselves in sol­idarity with an oppressed group without being a member of that group personally? Do we make sore spots more sore by touching them? Or does touching, ultimately, heal?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;WIG BUSINESS MEETING, Oct. l6, 1982&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chaired by Marianne Burkhard and Linda Pickle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting began with announcements of forthcoming conferences (see list, p. 26).&lt;/p&gt;
1. It was moved and seconded (Helen Fehervary, Elke Frederiksen) that WiG pursue possibilities for obtaining institutional and other financial support. The motion was approved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The first agenda item was to elect &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;steering committee&lt;/span&gt; members for vacant slots. Also, some modifications were proposed: (a) to lengthen the term to three years instead of two, because continuity is desirable and because the first year may be spent mostly in learning; (b) to make the treasurer/newsletter co­ordinator position ex-officio. This modification allows for six regular members with staggered terms and also gives more flexi­bility since the newsletter position isn't tied to an elected term. The following statement incorporating these modifications was approved:
&lt;p&gt;The Steering Committee is made up of 6 members of WiG who serve staggered three-year terms, and one ex-officio mem­ber with voting rights who is the treasurer and news­letter coordinator. The two members in their third year of service act as co-chairs for that year. New members are elected at the annual WiG conference but their term begins at the December MLA meeting and ends with the MLA meeting in three years' time. New members elected at the conference serve as non-voting members until the MLA meeting. Unexpected vacancies on the Steering Committee are filled by runners-up in the election. A geographic distribution of SC members is desirable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Steering Committee is responsible for conducting the ongoing business of the organization. They do this in accordance with the charges given them by the WiG member­ship as expressed at the annual conference. Their duties are determined by the concerns of the membership. De­cisions which have to be made in between the yearly con­ferences are accomplished by mail or phone contacts among SC members. Agreement of a majority of the SC members is necessary for such decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Discussion of vacancies and continuing positions followed. Linda Pickle preferred not to extend her term for a third year because she will be on leave. Marianne Burkhard, Martha Wallach, Joey Horsley and Almut Poole were willing to extend their terms. Nominations for the two vacant slots were then discussed. Two nominees, Sandy Frieden and Helen Fehervary, asked to withdraw their names because of their many other commitments but stated that they were willing to serve as alternates in case vacancies came up. Barbara Wright and Jeannine Blackwell were elected by ballot (a landslide) to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 15&lt;br /&gt;(Business meeting, continued)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fill the remaining positions. So, the SC membership now is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1980-1983: Marianne Burkhard (U. Ill., Urbana), co-chair 1983 and chair, political action committee. Martha Wallach (UWGB), co-chair 1983 and fund-raiser for guest author.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1981-1984: Joey Horsley (U. Mass., Boston). Almut Poole (UCLA).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1982-1985: Barbara Wright (U. Conn.). Jeannine Blackwell (IU Bloomington).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Treasurer/Newsletter: Jeanette Clausen (IPFW), 1981-?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternates: Sandy Frieden (U. Houston) and Helen Fehervary (OSU).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ed. note: Outgoing member Linda Pickle chairs the textbook com­mittee, which expects to publish its report in spring 1983. Thus, it seems reasonable to wait until the WiG conference 1983 to de­cide on a new chair for that committee. Other previously proposed SC duties (bibliography committee, outreach, etc.--see "charges, functions and duties," Nov. 1980 newsletter) need to be discussed at a future meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
3. WIG 1983 (and 1984)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Location&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a long discussion of whether to hold the 1983 Los Angeles area (as proposed last year) or to remain in the east for another year. Ultimately, the group decided on the latter, the major reason being to build a strong active membership in the east (as we had done in the midwest) before moving to another area. The following resolutions were approved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a) to make a strong effort to reach and actively involve west-coast people, starting immediately (and especially during MLA 1982).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;b) to meet in the east at least one more year and review the whole situation again next year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;c) to agree to Thompson Island as an acceptable meeting place for 1983 while investigating other possibilities (the major reason being that flights from most major cities to New York usually cost less than to Boston, so a site easily accessible from La Guardia would probably be preferable to one in Boston). Members who agreed to investigate possible sites were: Martha Wallach, Barbara Wright, Sidonie Cassirer, Edith Waldstein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;d) to hold a 3-day conference again in 1983 (Thursday evening through Sunday noon).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 16&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Business meeting, cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to our previous agreement as to the date (third weekend in October) the dates will be Oct. 13-16, 1983 (unless the con­ference center isn't available then, or some such).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Conference organizers&lt;/span&gt; will be Joey Horsley, Edith Waldstein, Barbara Wright and Martha Wallach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Guest author&lt;/span&gt;, 1983 and 1984&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As agreed last year, IRMTRAUD MORGNER had been invited to be WiG’s guest in 1983. (Many thanks to Karen Achberger for assuming responsibility for contacting her). Morgner sent word that for family reasons she couldn’t accept for 1983 but was interested in being invited for a later date. Accordingly, it was agreed to write her right away to invite her for 1984. (NB: Karen has already done this).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After much discussion, the group voted in favor of inviting BARBARA FRISCHMUTH (Austria) for 1983. (NB: the letter of invitation, written by Karen, who is becoming something of an expert at this, has already gone out, so with luck we may have an answer by the time we meet again at MLA). If Frischmuth is unable to accept, Verena Stefan and Gabriele Meixner will be invited; if they can’t come, Ilse Aichinger will be asked. (Ed. note: if no one wants to come, the steering committee will go into a little frenzy of phone-calling).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Conference Theme and Session Topics&lt;/span&gt;, WiG 1983&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The overall theme agreed on for WiG 1983 was STIMME SUCHEN, STIMME FINDEN. The theme is intended to encompass a wide spectrum of issues discussed this year, ranging from being able to speak loudly enough to be heard across the room, to "speaking the unspeakable," finding an authentic personal/professional voice (for writing and speaking), and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With details still to be worked out by the respective coordinators, sessions agreed on were:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Thursday evening&lt;/span&gt;: informal get-acquainted time, possibly with small­ group discussions of a personal nature rather than on an assigned topic. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinator needed&lt;/span&gt;, please volunteer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday morning&lt;/span&gt;: Interdisciplinary panel, "Stimme suchen" (presen­tations in English), to include work from feminist psychology on voice, identity, space, conversation, Öffentlichkeit. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Coordinators&lt;/span&gt;: Helen Fehervary, Judith Jamieson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday afternoon:&lt;/span&gt; Literary session (presentations in German), to include discussion of the guest author’s work. Focus will be fantasy if Barbara Frischmuth is the guest (coordinators: Dagmar orenz, Barbara Wright); if Verena Stefan and Gabriele Meixner are the guests, the focus will be translation (coordinators: Jeanette Clausen and another person).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 17&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Business meeting, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Friday evening&lt;/span&gt;: CR session, focus on violence against women. Coordinator: Almut Poole (and another person?).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday morning&lt;/span&gt;: “Stimme Finden." Focus on the personal/professional and how not to have the split between them. Coordinators: Jeanine Blackwell, Irmgard Taylor, with Almut Poole&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday afternoon&lt;/span&gt;: Business Meeting&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Saturday evening&lt;/span&gt;: Author's reading, followed by discussion. Coordinator: Karen Achberger (if Barbara Frischmuth is the guest)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sunday morning&lt;/span&gt;: ''Lost Voices/New Voices." Coordinators: Dorothy Rosenberg and Resa Dudovitz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;For detailed announcements received so far, see pp. 18-19.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;4. WiG at AATG, 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The topic agreed upon for both WiG sessions (I. pedagogy; II. literature/culture) at the 1983 AATG meeting is WOMEN AND PEACE. Members who volunteered to work on this topic were: Gertraud Gutzman, Helen Fehervary, Margaret Ward, Pat Herminghouse Irmgard Taylor, Laureen Nussbaum, Martha Wallach, Leonora Cayard. Coordinators for the two sessions Will be decided when it is known where the AATG will meet in 1983. If the meeting is in West Ber­lin, WiG members attending will try to plan an extra meeting with feminist Germanists there.&lt;/p&gt;
5. WiG at MLA, 1983 (to be held in New York).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Near the end of this four-hour meeting, Helen Fehervary moved that the WiG topic for MLA 1983 be "Women and Literary History," and the exhausted group approved this topic. Since there was neither time nor energy to work Out details, further discussion and appointment of coordinators will take place at MLA 1982.&lt;/p&gt;
6. The final item of discussion was the April 9, 1983 WiG meeting with Christa Wolf. Jeanette Clausen will coordinate the announce­ments, schedule, and registration; Leslie Adelson (OSU) will co­ordinate logistics in Columbus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;-- Summary of meeting by JC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;FINANCIAL REPORT: a conservative calculation of WiG finances shows that after all expenses for 1982 are paid (including the November newsletter, other mailings, bulk mail permit renewal, and cash bar at MLA) We will still have at least &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;$1100.00&lt;/span&gt; in the WiG account!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 18&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WIG 1983: CALLS FOR PAPER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;S&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Friday morning, Interdisciplinary Panel, “Stimme Suchen.” Feminist Perspecties on Work from Other Disciplines (tentative title).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The coordinators see a variety of possibilities for WiG to begin discussing voice from a feminist perspective. Judy Jamieson suggests three broad areas: 1) social studies fields, both theoretical and applied; (2) politics, broadly defined to include media coverage of political events and issues as well as theory and/or women active in the political arena; (3) the arts, again broadly defined to include music, dance, crafts, etc. as well as literature and visual arts. Presentations might focus on German women using their voices in any of these areas. Helen Fehervary is especially interested in new theories of identity, sexuality, Öffentlichkeit, culture. She asks: “Do the findings of contemporary critical theory, structuralism, etc. provide models of discussion which we (feminists) can modify or expand? To what extent does our knowledge of such tradition help/hinder us in the search for women’s voices?” Possible topics might be Focault and the question of sexual and gender identity; Habermas or Negt/Kluge and the notion of Offentlichkeit regarding such forms as the salon; and/or others. Send questions proposals, suggestions to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt;: Helen Fehervary, German Dept., [redacted] OSU Columbus, OH 43210, and Judith Jamieson, Prividence College, Providence, RI 02918, by April 1, 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Friday evening, Consciousness Raising Session&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Almut Poole is planning a session to deal specifically with rape and sexual assault (rather than dealing superficially with the entire area of violence against women). She proposes to discuss: a) the scope and extent of the problem; (b) causes and prevention models, primarily a contrast of the traditional protection model as espoused by law enforcement and a (re-educational) empowerment model of feminist origin; (c) an analysis of why we have rape in society (possibly using a videotape about one. woman's victimization). The presentation will be followed by CR sessions in small groups. Almut writes: "I'd very much like to see a follow-up on this issue: how does literature deal with it? Another important related issue is language and the importance of language change. And, most of all, how can we incorporate these topics into our teaching?" Address: Almut Poole, [redacted]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Saturday morning, "Stimme finden"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;1. Ten minute presentations (in German or English) on practical strategies for success in finding a voice in the classroom and in the university: for example, getting women authors into the German Dept. curriculum, methods for dealing with the administration, handling classroom problems of gender/genre/performance. One-page-abstracts by March 15, 1983 to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt; Irmgard Taylor, and Jeannine Blackwell, [redacted]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Page 19&lt;br /&gt;(Stimme finden, continued)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="WordSection2"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. We also ask everyone to send in their &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;specific&lt;/span&gt; classroom and university &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;problem situations&lt;/span&gt; : i.e. , racist student remarks, faculty interaction problems, administration refusal of money or space for women's studies projects, lack of German in women's studies courses. Send us your problems: we will try to find so­lutions in the small group discussion, using role playing. Please make the description very brief--less than one page. Send to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both &lt;/span&gt;Irmgard Taylor and Jeannine Blackwell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunday morning, "Lost Voices/New Voices" (tentative title)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Questions we would like to address include: What are the ideolo­gical functions of women's popular literature? What need does popular literature fill? Why have scholars been reluctant to look seriously at women's popular literature past and present? What are the relationships between popular literature and the "canon"? Send inquiries or proposals to both: Dorothy Rosenberg, [redacted] and Resa Dudowitz, [redacted]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * * * *&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Quote from Shaffer’s preface: ”I plead nolo contendere to being a man; but I do not feel that a study on women must necessarily be made by a member of the female sex. ... I do not believe that my sex interfered with my comprehension or in any way prejudiced my analysis of the issues treated in this book.” --Remember this statement when you look for information on lesbian rights; battered women's shelters; foreign women as workers and wives-- to mention a few topics not listed in the index. Still, the book does contain a lot of useful information and should be very help­ful to students, especially undergraduates. I think we should bring it to the attention of Women's Studies programs too, and urge for more courses on women's situations in German-speaking areas.

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Anhand exemplarischer Textanalysen der in den 70er Jahren im Kontext der westdeutschen Frauenbewegung hervorgebrachten Liter­atur werden Entwicklungen und Konzeptionen feministischer Prosa erarbeitet. Das Verhältnis zwischen Emanzipationsstreben und ästhetischer Form wird dabei im kulturellen Nexus betrachtet, um die Frage nach der Existenz einer weiblichen Ästhetik einzu­grenzen und zu präzisieren auf die Frage nach einer feministischen Ästhetik. Diese heuristische Kategorie wird im Prozeß der Analyse am konkreten Material entwickelt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Die Diskussion darüber, was Literatur von Frauen sein und leisten könne und ob es eine "weibliche" Ästhetik gebe, wird vertieft durch die Analyse der Gedanken von Frauen aus der Vergangenheit sowie moderner strukturalistischer Ansätze aus Frankreich und empirischer Untersuchungen in den USA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Other0"&gt;DIE WICHTIGKEIT DER MÄNNER UND DIE ENERGIEN DER FRAUEN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext60"&gt;Die diesjährige Sommeruniversität für Frauen in Berlin hat die Macht der Männer in vorher nicht gekanntem Ausmaß zu spüren be­kommen. Sie wurde erstmals nicht als förderungswürdige Bildungsver­anstaltung anerkannt, d.h. es gab keinen Bildungsurlaub, so daß berufs­tätige Frauen sich kaum beteiligen konnten. Hauptgrund: Gefährdung der Sittlichkeit. Insbesondere Jugendliche sollten vor einer Bildungsver­anstaltung geschützt werden, an der nicht nur auch lesbische Frauen teilnehmen würden, sondern in deren Rahmen sogar homosexuelle Neigungen zum Thema gemacht würden. Kurz vor Beginn der Sommer­uni wurden auch noch 5 Veranstaltungen schlicht verboten, weil die Gefahr bestünde, daß in ihnen zur Gewalt (gegen die Staatsgewalt) aufgerufen würde.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext60"&gt;Die Tatsache, daß das Lesbenreferat des Allgemeinen Studentenaus­schusses (ASTA der Freien Universität Berlin) als Veranstalter auftrat, mag diese Staatseingriffe erleichtert haben. Nicht nur, weil sich Männer vielleicht provoziert fühlen, wenn Lesben sich offiziell als solche be­zeichnen, sondern auch, weil studentische Vertretungskörperschaften formal kein „politisches Mandat" haben. Darauf aber sich zu berufen, um Verbote zu begründen, heißt lediglich, einen beliebigen juristischen Hebel zu benutzen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Zielsetzung der Tagung ist die Kommunikation zwischen Frauen über Forschungsergebnisse und methodische Erfahrungen bei der Rekonstruk­tion weiblicher Kulturgeschichte. Wir wollen in erster Linie Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen, aber auch Frauen, die in anderen Fächern feministische Forschung betreiben, ansprechen. Die Tagung soll einen Überblick über den Stand historischer Forschung und Theorieentwicklung ermöglichen. Alle Teilnehmerinnen sollten die Ergebnisse und Probleme ihrer Projekte im Hinblick auf feministische Theoriebildung und Kulturkritik in die Diskussion einbringen. Am Ende der Tagung sollten Überlegungen und Planungen stehen, die eine kontinuierliche Weiterarbeit und Zusammenarbeit unter den beteiligten Wissenschaftlerinnen ermöglichen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Geplanter Tagungsverlauf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
1. Theoretische Überlegungen und historische Beispiele aus dem Gebiet "Frauenbilder”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Theoretische Überlegungen und historische Beispiele aus dem Gebiet "Frauenliteratur"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Projektvorstellungen aus den Gebieten "Frauenbilder" und "Frauenliteratur"&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Unlike most professional organizations, WOMEN IN GERMAN has not raised its rates in the past three years. We are able to keep rates low for students and the unemployed in part because of individual members who voluntarily pay the supporting membership rates (see dues structure below). Membership/subscription money is used to finance the publication of the WiG newsletter (three issues per year, March, August, November) and to partially cover expenses for the annual WiG conference and other events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;As part of our efforts to generate additional funds to support more extensive WiG projects, such as publication of conference proceedings, we have added an additional category, sponsoring departments. Besides receiving the newsletter and other information sent to the WiG member­ship as a whole, German departments which become WiG sponsors will be eligible to purchase published materials at the same discount available to individual members. Also, they will be listed as sponsors in the August issue of the newsletter and in any publications partially funded through their support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Please fill out this section, detach and return with check (payable to Women in German) to: WOMEN IN GERMAN, Dept. of Modern Foreign Languages, Indiana U.-Purdue U., Fort Wayne, IN 468O5.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Number 30                                                      March 1983&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PAID YOUR DUES?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why begin the newsletter with this question? Because WiG needs money to carry out all our projects, quite a few of which are described in this newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And because sending out renewal notices is time-consuming and expensive. Please check your mailing label &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;now&lt;/span&gt;, and renew if your number is 30 (this issue) or below. Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BARBARA FRISCHMUTH&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As most of you already know, Barbara Frischmuth has agreed to be WiG*8 guest at the 1983 conference, Oct. 13-16, at Thompson Island, Boston. Martha Wallach is working with the Austrian Institute to arrange Frischmuth*s visit, which will probably include two or three readings at university campuses besides her par­ticipation in the WiG conference. At this writing it still isn't clear how much money WiG will have to contribute toward Frischmuth’s travel and/or honorarium, but it is quite likely to be more than last year (as you may recall, last year we paid only the honorarium for Luise Rinser—which she donated back to us—and the Goethe Institute paid the rest).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IRMTRAUD MORGNER AND HELGA SCHUTZ&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Irmtraud Morgner wrote that she and Helga Schutz would be happy to be WiG's guests in 1984! This is an exciting possibility—as Karen Achberger said, two are &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;more&lt;/span&gt; than twice as much as one! we have only just begun to investigate possible sources of funding to finance their trip, but again, we must be pre­pared to contribute a considerable amount—at the very least, the price of one round-trip plane ticket. Assuming that our membership supports the idea of bringing these two authors to our conference, the steering committee has dis­cussed the advisability of holding the WiG conference on the East Coast again in 1984—since travel to the West Coast would drastically increase the expenses of the guest authors, what are &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;your&lt;/span&gt; opinions on this? Also, if you have any good ideas for fund-raising, please write to the newsletter, or to Martha Wallach (U. of Wisconsin, Green Bay).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WIG YEARBOOK PROJECT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As agreed at the WiG business meeting at MLA, the steering committee is moving ahead with plans to produce a WiG 1982 yearbook. As you probably remember, this project was first proposed at the WiG conference in Boston. The yearbook will be a collection of papers selected from those sent in by the presenters at WiG 1982, WiG/AATG 1982, and WiG MLA 1982. All presenters have been sent a memo inviting them to send in their papers to be considered for inclusion in this volume by 1 May 1983. (WIG yearbook, cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Editors and referees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The steering committee members recommend that the yearbook be co-edited by two WiG members, we also think the yearbook should be a refereed publication, since most institutions discount unrefereed publications in tenure and promotion decisions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marianne Burkhard (U. Illinois), who edited the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Amsterdamer Beiträge&lt;/span&gt; 1980 special issue on Women and German Literature (Gestaltet und Gestaltend* Frauen in der deutschen Literatur), is willing to be one of the co-editors, provided that WiG members have no objection, we would welcome volunteers or nominations for the other co-editor. If we don't receive any, the steering committee will find someone willing so that the necessary work will get done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concerning &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;referees,&lt;/span&gt; we think that each paper sent in should be reviewed by a WiG member (after all, who is better qualified to evaluate feminist research in Germanistik than we are?). The referee would provide written comments on the paper she reviews, recommending either: a) that the paper be published as sent; b) that the paper be revised according to specific suggestions before being published; or c) that the paper not be Included in the yearbook. The co-editors would make the final decision. The author of the paper will receive a copy of the referee's comments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WE ARE ASKING YOU, the members of WiG, to volunteer to review papers for the yearbook (except, of course, those planning to send in papers themselves). It would make it &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;much&lt;/span&gt; easier for the co-editors if they had a list of willing folks to choose from. Send Marianne a copy of your CV and say what areas of research you feel most competent to review. Do this by 1 May 1983. It would also be good to tell Marianne your summer travel plans. Address: Marianne Burkhard,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Publisher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marianne contacted the University Press of America. According to their brochure, and what we learned from participants in the Annual GDR Symposium (whose pro­ceedings are published by UPA), they offer organizations the opportunity to publish "on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost." The finished book is said to be available within 8 to 10 weeks of "camera-ready" manuscript submission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The "reasonable cost" is as follows; the organization (i.e., us) must place a minimum order for 85 paperback copies at a 10% discount. (No other subvention is required). We think selling 85 copies in an organization of almost 300 members shouldn't be too difficult!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We see this first WiG yearbook as a pilot project, and plan to review and evaluate our procedures at the October 1983 WIG conference. In the meantime, let us know if you have comments, questions, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TEXTBOOK COMMITTEE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Linda Pickle writes that she has received most of the textbook reviews that were promised her, and expects the others soon. Since there are too many reviews to publish in one issue of the newsletter, we have decided to publish them all (textbook committee, coat.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;together. They will be mailed to all of you as a sort of supplement to the newsletter later this semester.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SYLLABI PROJECT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sydna (Bunny) Weiss and Sidonie Cassirer volunteered to collect syllabi from feminist courses wiG members have taught. Bunny wrote that she had applied for, and was granted, financial support from the Kirkland Endowment to fund the first part of the project—mailing the survey to all WiG members and to WS programs in the U.S. Also, there is a good chance that Hamilton College will help WiG fund publication of the results! Please respond promptly to the sur­vey when you receive it. (Note to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;new&lt;/span&gt; WiG members; if you joined WiG later than Nov. 1982, your name and address aren't on the mailing list Bunny has.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her address: German Dept., Hamilton college, Clinton, NY 13323).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NON-PROFIT STATUS           -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encouraged by the WiG steering committee and sundry others, Jeanette is going to file an application to incorporate WiG as a not-for-profit organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The major advantage of that status for us seems to be financial: we'll be eligible for a lower bulk mail rate, we'll have tax-exempt status, and we'll also be eligible for certain grants and the like that aren't available to other organizations or to individuals. To get this status, of course, we have to invest a little money: a $26. filing fee and the attorney's fee (about $125.).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FINANCIAL REPORT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Jan. - Dec. 1982) — from Jeanette Clausen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought you'd be interested in seeing where our money goes, so I've prepared a report for the calendar year 1982. since I've only been handling the money since August 1981, I can't say whether 1982 was a "typical" year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During 1982 we spent $1508.90, almost exactly the amount received in membership/ subscription income ($1512.50).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A big expense is typing, duplicating and postage for the newsletter and other mailings (e.g. calls for papers; the announcement of the Christa Wolf meeting mailed in Nov. 1982; outreach mailings), it may be possible to cut down these expenses somewhat, but keeping WiG members informed will continue to be a first priority. I made a decision to send all mailings involving a deadline (such as the August newsletter, which includes the conference program and registration form) by first class mail. Bulk mail is too slow and too unpredictable (can take 6 weeks or more for some members) when a deadline is involved. By next fall, I should have access to a word processor, and will try to develop a space-saving format for the newsletter, to reduce duplicating costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concerning other expenses, I've asked the steering committee for advice and will be glad to receive suggestions from anyone else. So far, the only thing we (steering committee) have agreed on is not to have a separate cash bar at MLA again (cost was $100.21 for 1982), but rather to see if WiG can co-sponsor one with another organization, perhaps the Women's Caucus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(financial report, cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thia report &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; include income or expenses for the 1982 WLG conference in Boston, except that the money left over from WIG 1981 ($268.38, received Oct. 1982) was turned over to Joey Horsley to add to the travel reimbursement fund (for those who had to travel long distances to the 1982 conference and weren't eligible for travel money from their institution). All conference expenses, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; Luise Rinser's honorarium, were paid for with Income from conference registration fees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Tablecaption0"&gt;Money Received&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p class="Tablecaption0"&gt;$1508.90&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INCOME BREAKDOWN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also tried to do a breakdown by membership categories of the membership/ subscription income received during 1982. For various reasons, my records aren't complete. Sometimes I forget to record &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;when&lt;/span&gt; I deposited someone's check, or I neglect to write down &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;how much&lt;/span&gt; someone paid. Other reasons why totals don't come out as expected are charges deducted by the credit union for handling a non-U.S. check, and checks received for amounts other than those specified for the various membership categories. The information I'm reasonably sure of is: (financial report, cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This adds up to 177 payments totalling $1490.00, which accounts for most of the menberShip/subscription income received in 1982. Again, I can't say how "typical" a year this was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also have records of 40 subscribers who were dropped from the mailing list during 1982, either because their mail was returned to us or because they didn't respond to renewal notices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DEPARTMENTAL SPONSORS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remember the new membership category "departmental sponsors" introduced last November? So far, WiG has two such sponsors; the German Department at Ohio State University, Columbus; and (surprise) the Department of Modern Foreign Languages at Indiana-Purdue, Fort Wayne. See the membership form at the end of the newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BACK ISSUES OF WIG&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Occasionally new subscribers (or even renewing ones) express an interest in receiving back issues of the newsletter. Most back issues are available in varying quantities, or copies can be made if the supply runs out. For some reason, though, I have &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt; copy of issue 18 (Feb. or March 1979), and i*d very much appreciate it if someone who has a complete set would xerox that one and send it to me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i'll be happy to send back issues to anyone who requests them and is willing to pay the postage. To give you an idea, it would cost about a dollar to mail the three 1982 issues (Nos. 27, 28, 29). The earliest issues, from 1975, are very interesting to anyone wanting to know more about WLG's beginnings. —So, if you want back issues, write to me, Jeanette Clausen, at the newsletter address. Be sure to state how many you want (give issue numbers if you can).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CHRISTA WOLF&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As many of you already know, Christa Wolf will not be at OSU for the entire spring quarter, as originally planned. The April 9 meeting with her is can­celled, She will not be present at the conference on women, fascism, every­day life in Germany (April 28-30, 1983), which will take place as planned except for her participation. She will be at OSU in May, but will do &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;no&lt;/span&gt; speaking engagements. So ist es eben. Ich wühte nicht, was da noch zu sagen ware.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By all accounts, the WLG sessions at MLA were well attended—too well, since over 200 people came to the film (Margareta von Trotta's &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Die blelerne Zeit) &lt;/span&gt;and the room had to be changed to accommodate them all; as a result, the session for presentation of papers was delayed, and the discussion didn't end until ' 11:30 p.m. Moral of the story: ask for a BIG room when scheduling a film showing. Marjorie Tussing prepared a useful handout with summaries of the&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;papers and a filmography on von Trotta, which was distributed at the session.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, the handout isn’t available for inclusion In this newsletter but you&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;might write to Marjorie for a copy if you need one (Dept. of Foreign Lang, and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lit., California State U. at Fullerton, Fullerton, CA 92634). Marjorie also&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wrote that &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Film Quarterly&lt;/span&gt; had asked for a short write-up of the session, which&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;she sent them in February. Thanks to Marjorie for all her work in organitlag&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the program; thanks are also due to the Consulate of the Federal Republic of&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Germany, Los Angeles and the Goethe Institute, San Francisco for their support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;&lt;b&gt;AATG 1982&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FAIRY TALES IN THE CLASSROOM, chaired by Bunny Weiss (Hamilton College) and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wilma Iggers (Canisius college).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bunny writes that the session, held on Thanksgiving evening, attracted about 40 people and the papers sparked a very lively discussion. The presentations were:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Jane Barry (SUNY, Buffalo), "Female Archetypes in Marchen and the Classroom."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Images such as the witch, the seductress and the waif appear so frequently that it is important for both male and female students to understand what these images of women represent psychologically to the reader as well as to the writer and the culture as a whole. The archetypes are examined from a psychological point of view, and ways of dealing with them in the classroom are discussed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maria M. Tatar (Harvard U.), "From Nags to Witches* The Stepmother in Fairy Tales." The witch in the woods who habitually menaces the protagonists of fairy tales often figures as a distorted mirror image of the stepmother at home. The paper explores the various transformations of the (step)mother in fairy tales and analyzes her dual role as witch and as enchantress. It attempts to show how the stepmother motif can serve as a point of departure for classroom dis­cussion of family structures in fairy tales.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cora Lee Nollendorfs (U. Wisconsin, Madison), "Fairy Tales as Ways of&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Learning: Approaches and Methods." The paper discusses the use of fairy tales in German classes at three levels, elementary language instruction; intermediate language Instruction; introduction to literary analysis. It outlines advantages to the use of fairy tales over other types of texts, and points out problems with the language of fairy tales and with their subject matter, especially stereotyped figures, it presents as examples ways in which several of the Grimm Marchen can be used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FAIRY TALE MOTIFS IN MODERN GERMAN/AUSTRIAN LITERATURE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sue Bottigheimer (Princeton University), summation. In each of the papers    «&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;a fantasy world functions as a second, true reality. Most female figures appear to represent autonomous figures. Umfunktlonlerung of traditional fairy tale figures reveals shifting perceptions of these figures, and finally, such revisionist efforts are part of an ongoing tradition in fairy tale studies in general, not only by feminists, but also by Marxists, Freudians, Jungians, and social historians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liselotte Weingant (Lake Forest College), "Barabara Frischmuths Soziale Zaubergeschichten." in the trilogy &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Die Mystifikation der Sophie Silber&lt;/span&gt; (1976), &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Amy oder die Metamorphose&lt;/span&gt; (1978), and &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Kai Oder die Liebe&lt;/span&gt; zu &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;den Modellen&lt;/span&gt; (1979), Frischmuth utilizes elements from the fantasy world of fairy tales, especially by peopling her novel with characters from the fairy realm, as a descriptive medium for feminine reality. To help earthlings (die Enterischen), fairies take on human form and slowly lose touch with the harmonious world from which they came. The author's intention is to sharpen the reader's awareness of his/her own world, and prepare him/her to create it anew.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Renate Delphendahl (University of Maine), "The Alienated Self in *Undine Geht*." Growing out of the long tradition of Undine-Melusine figures,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bachmann's Undine represents the transfiguration and disappearance of the old figure. Her alienation in the world of loneliness and anguish parallels woman's alienation in a world of men. Furthermore, Undine rejects the language of&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;men; her silence may be interpreted as Bachmann's verdict that women have no voice within the system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Karen Achberger (Saint Olaf College), "Beyond Language: Ingeborg Bachmann and Fairytales." While Bachmann's works often appear dark on the surface, at the level of realistic plot, for example, the actual utopian thrust of her prose lies beneath the surface in a mythical, musical, dream-drenched sub­structure of poetic allusions, often to fairytale characters, events, and relationships. Within her work one finds examples of fairytale motifs taken over unaltered, of role reversals, and total reworkings (&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Umfunktionierungen) &lt;/span&gt;of fairytales, as well as "home-made" (mythopoetic) fantasies which Bachmann has created herself. Decoding these allusions to fairytales is crucial to understanding Bachmann's prose, which is informed by a tension between surface and subtext, that is between reality and a utopian vision beneath the surface of her prose.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Joanna Ratych (Rutgers University), "Use Alchlngers inquisitive Dwarfs."&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;A large number of traditional feiry tale elements--dwarfs, seclusion in hermetically sealed places—appear in Aichinger's &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Dialogs&lt;/span&gt;. She uses these to integrate the phenomena of the everyday world with those of the world of magic, achieving the effect of distancing the phenomena of the everyday world in the eyes of the reader. Furthermore these fairy tale motifs function to reveal the problematic conditions in which growth and maturing take place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MAINSTREAMING THE FL CURRICULUM: FEMALE AND MALE STEREOTYPING IN BEGINNING- LEVEL TEACHING MATERIALS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(One-day pre-conference workshop, Nov. 1982)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Barbara D. Wright (U. Conn., Storrs)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purposes of the workshop, which Betty Schmitz (Bozeman, Montana) and I organized, were: 1) to review progress made in removing sexism from teaching materials since the mid-1970's; (2) to identify problems that still exist; and (3) to propose new approaches and solutions based on recent research in Women's Studies. The morning session consisted of a keynote address by Peggy McIntosh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Director of Faculty Development, Wellesley Center for Research on Women), and presentations by Betty and myself. The afternoon was spent evaluating indi­vidual textbooks according to the guidelines of an evaluative instrument devel­oped by Betty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;WS and the Liberal Arts Curriculum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peggy McIntosh emphasized that WS is profoundly altering our conception of liberal arts by asking how every academic discipline would change if it reflected the fact that women are half the world's population, and by investi­gating areas of human endeavor that have remained "invisible" up to now. She outlined the ways disciplines change when a WS perspective is applied, giving examples from history (focus not just on changes associated with "great" men, but also on unchanging fabric of everyday life); political science (attention to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;informal&lt;/span&gt; structures of smaller social and political units rather than to men in formal power structures); art history (homecrafts, interior decorating, etc. rather than only a canon of "masterpieces"); and literature (besides necessary attention to "notable" women authors, also works in "pre-" or "sub-" literary genres, which may provide an alternative to the prevailing--male—world view); Peggy's remarks made clear that current FL textbooks, whether they emphasize "notables" and "masterpieces" or everyday life and social customs, don't even come close to taking into account the presence or contribution of women as 50% of a given society. WS gives us both the conceptual tools and the factual information for publishers and authors to draw on in order to create a more balanced, accurate picture. Also, publishers, authors and teachers must be open to ongoing réévaluation and change, since a bias that has persisted so long can't be corrected in the course of one or two new editions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Convincing the Unbelievers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My talk began by following up on what Peggy had said concerning the teaching of culture. I have encountered many objections to teaching culture as she recommends that it be done. The four categories of objections and my responses to them are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1)   "But that's the way it really is." (our obligation to students to portray a given culture as it "really" is, not as we would like to have it). To this, I respond that, first, our texts must present an accurate picture of what women in that culture &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;really&lt;/span&gt; think and do, not what they are commonly believed to think or do. Second, when portraying women in "traditional" roles, we must communicate the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;value&lt;/span&gt; of the labor and services they provide—the homemaker or mother must not become the object of trivialization, humor or criticism, as has happened in the past. Third, when we encounter a seemingly undeniable cultural stereotype, we must still ask to what extent it reflects only a male perspective.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2)   The "good PR" argument: it's essential for FL to "win" students by presenting an attractive picture of country, culture and people (by implication, showing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;too much poverty or social inequity is "bad" PR). I believe this argument is ultimately self-defeating: students sense the inauthenticity of many of our texts and react with boredom or disinterest. We can't deliberately mislead them on the one hand, then expect them to trust us when we speak of the aspects of a culture that we admire. 3) "But it's good pedagogy for students to be able to identify with the people or subject matter they study." (hence, pre­sumably, the preponderance in FL textbooks of young, healthy, attractive, white, middle-class professionals-to-be). Here, we must ask "good for whom?" FL classes generally have more female than male students, yet male characters&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;consistently outnumber females in textbooks. Also, student populations are becoming more varied—and older--each year. We can no longer assume (if we ever could) that all FL learners will "identify" with the insipid post-adolescent concerns of so many textbook characters. 4) The "simplicity" argument: learning a FL and getting acquainted with a foreign culture are challenging enough without adding extra difficulties. Here, I think it is important to distinguish between legitimate simplification and irresponsible distortion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To leave unchallenged the stereotype of the German nuclear-family Hausfrau is no more defensible than letting students think all German men run around in Lederhosen. By incorporating the richness and vigor of WS research into the cultural component of our FL textbooks, we will have an intellectually stimu­lating, pedagogically responsible alternative to the predictable "explicit" cultural messages of FL texts, and a powerful antidote to their extraordinarily impoverished &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;implicit&lt;/span&gt; cultural messages as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Cultural and Linguistic Connections&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I then turned to the connection I see between FL teaching and recent research by feminist linguists in discourse analysis, which has led to a better understanding of the differences between women's and men's speech. FL textbooks reflect an overwhelmingly "male" use of language, with emphasis on transmission of infor­mation and problem solving, and neglect of other uses. Yet McConnell-Ginet writes (in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Women and Language in Literature and Society)&lt;/span&gt; that transfer of infor­mation is probably not the predominant use of language even outside literary contexts. She suggests, rather, that we talk above all to relate ourselves to others. When we look from McConnell-Ginet’s point of view at language as it is taught in current FL textbooks, we register the absence of countless phenomena of everyday speech* hedges and tag questions, "empty" adjectives, fillers, vocalized pauses. Dialogues students are expected to memorize contain almost nothing of the conversational dynamics that linguists have documented: topic initiation, interruption or switch of topic; conversation as a model for competitive or collaborative activity; and the sustaining of conversation by means of gambits, mediations, leading questions, interjections and the like (work, incidentally, which is shared in single-sex groups but which falls overwhelmingly to women in mixed-sex groups). Little attention is paid in most texts to the expression of strong emotion, to the subtleties and indirectness which characterize the speech of many women, or to the vast range of styles within a language: the language of intimacy, of newstelling or gossip, of irony, bawdy humor, storytelling and so on. As a result, students learn a bloodless and impoverished language, and gain no insight into the style they use in their native language, or into the conversational dynamics in which they themselves participate daily. If study of FL can teach students something of this, then they will have learned a powerful lesson indeed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Evaluating Available Materials&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Betty Schmitz explained that though progress has been made in the last decade in improving the image of women and minorities in teaching materials, the prob­lem is far from gone. She identified four aspects: 1) publishers' guidelines have not been systematically or consistently applied; 2) the new material on women added to textbooks has not been effectively integrated throughout the book; 3) a new generation of authors and editors is emerging with no knowledge&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or consciousness of bias in textbooks, or with the perception that recent textbook revisions have distorted the reality of the target culture; and 4) the more subtle and pervasive forms of bias in language and culture have not been addressed. She identified six forms of bias in curricular materials;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) exclusion, 2) stereotyping, 3) linguistic bias, 4) fragmentation or isolation, 5) unreality, and 6) historical inaccuracy or incompleteness. The first four of these are relatively easy for most of us to identify. Analysis for realism and historical accuracy would require specific expertise and a considerable time investment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During the afternoon session, participants used Betty's evaluative instrument to examine individual textbooks in French, German, Italian and Spanish, and concluded with a discussion of what we had found and how the texts could be improved. The wrap-up discussion was chaired by Michel Grimaud (French, Wellesley College). Though enrollment was not all we had hoped for, we were very pleased to have representatives from two publishing companies with us; Houghton Mifflin and Scott Foreman. Participants praised the workshop for the quality of the presentations and for the wealth of new insights it had given them. Just recently, Madeline Gutwirth of the MLA Commission on the Status of Women in the Profession asked us whether we would be willing to repeat the workshop at the 1983 convention in New York, and the commission is now considering whether to sponsor us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(The following reaction to the Boston conference was received too late for the November newsletter)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Some reactions of an old-timer&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;who hasn't been for awhile&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So many conferences, however stimulating, deplete and exhaust one's energy. However tired I was after our 4-day Thompson Island conference, I was not depleted, nor exhausted. After a couple years' absence from our meetings, I was grateful to learn firsthand that we have managed to keep our original goals intact. We had, so long ago, at the MLA in S.F., 1975, decided to always con­vene in an informal atmosphere, one that would allow us to be supportive as we exchanged ideas and experiences—and Thompson Island was just such a setting. More than that, though, I could see that though we have grown considerably and though we now have a fairly large steering committee, WIG still retains and maintains its original intent. The Organizational structure of the steering committee encourages an impressive openness, never becoming a cumbersome burden overshadowing our aims.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The impressions that remain with me are varied and mostly encouraging. Aside from the numerous personal contacts I renewed, and the energy and encouragement I gained from the many diverse papers and presentations, I felt a particular pleasure in being able to bring along my daughter Alyssa (her first WIG was in Ohio at 4 months of age). Having her along really meant combining those often at odds characters of mother and professional; it meant, too, the unex­pected pleasure of sharing with those women, whom I had known professionally a long time, what they, too, experience as mothers. It was a sort of "coming out". Joey Horsley and Barbara Wright deserve all our thanks for their&lt;br /&gt; (some reactions...cont.) tremendous talents in organizing everything—not the least, for me, was day­care. It enabled me to listen to papers, enter discussions, exchange ideas and information and also to enjoy myself. &lt;i&gt;My&lt;/i&gt; grateful thanks to WIG for pro­viding child care. Having Alyssa along let me integrate my work with my life in a way that I've not been able to do before and many of my colleagues in various departments where I teach have expressed great enthusiasm for what WIG continues to do in a ground-breaking way. Although I think we can pat ourselves on our backs for this, there remain, nonetheless, some unspoken dilemmas. For the parent it frequently means a feeling of isolation as others naturally are preoccupied with the business at hand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our conference was so full that I've already exceeded my space limit without mentioning everything I wanted to. Let me then be brief in my conclusion: our ongoing effort to include inter-disciplinary views by inviting non-German speaking participants, as well as those professionally active in Germany, continues to be stimulating and exciting; our lengthy discussion on which language to use seemed unnecessarily divisive and I was glad to see us resolve it in an open manner (it seems to have been an "unspeakable"?!); did we realize the tremendous effort Patsy Baudoin (of Schoenhof's bookstore)--herself a Ph.D. candidate in Comp. Lit.—made in hauling all those great books to the island?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What more can I say? —Plenty, mostly thanks to all those of you who have done ail the nitty-gritty work these past years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Critical Perspectives on Ingeborg Bachmann." A Special Session Conmemorating the Tenth Anniversary of Her Death. Though Bachmann's name comes up during almost every discussion at WiG meetings, there has not yet been a session de­voted entirely to her life and work. This MLA special session, long overdue, will include an overview of Bachmann scholarship and feminist (re-)appraisals of her work.

&lt;p&gt;"Brecht and Women," program planned by the International Brecht Society for MLA 1983. A continuation of the discussion at MLA 1982, the topic Brecht and women will also be the subject of a special issue of the Brecht Yearbook. For 1983, we are especially (but not exclusively) interested in a focus on the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;mother figure&lt;/span&gt; in Brecht's work. Preferred language is English. Graduate students, actors, directors and political activists are encouraged to participate. It would be wise to write a short version (10-20 min.) for oral delivery and a longer version, if youwishjforpossiblepublication. Abstracts to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt;;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Patty Lee Parmalee, and Janelle Reinelt, by &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;15 May 1983&lt;/span&gt;. Deadline for&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;final copy is 1 September 1983.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Please Remember&lt;/span&gt;; potential speakers for the 1983 convention must be listed on the MLA membership rolls by &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;1 April 1983&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;IVG 1985, in Gottingen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Message from Marianne Burkhard.                                                          .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Internationale Vereinigung filr germanische Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft (IVG) will hold its 7th Congress from August 25-31, 1985, in Gbttingen. Prep­arations for the program are already underway. IVG has about 1000 members from all over the world, and holds a congress every 5 years presenting a cross-section of the "state of the art." Since participation by women panelists in 1980 left something to be desired and presentation of feminist perspectives was almost absent, WiG should make a concerted effort to change this for 1985. There are several things we can do;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Become members of IVG; dues are DM 100.- for 5 years, not an exorbitant sum when considering MLA dues for one year. Members will pay a substantially reduced conference registration in Gottingen. Applications for Beitragsermassigung Oder -erlass are being accepted; whether they are easily granted I don't know.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;(IVG 1985, in Gottingen cont.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Propose topics for a) entire sections, and b) individual papers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point, the general topic is known: &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Kontroversen, alte und neue&lt;/span&gt;. This summer there will be a sort of seminar in which the specific sections or fora will be further delineated. At the end of 1983 the &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Vorankündigung&lt;/span&gt; will be mailed to members.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Propose names of women who could be tapped for the (probably)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;6-8 &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Plenarvortrage,&lt;/span&gt; for chairing sections, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I propose the following things for now; please send me your ideas for specific &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;sections&lt;/span&gt; by April 25. I will then condense them and send a letter to IVG pro­posing that these topics be considered this summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also send me names of people for chairing them as well as for &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Plenarvortrage&lt;/span&gt;. Probably we should suggest that one &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Plenaryortag&lt;/span&gt; be a feminist statement, i.e. present a feminist view of either a particular field or discuss feminist con­tributions on a larger scale. Of course, we don't know the general topics of these &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Plenarvortrage&lt;/span&gt; yet, but it would be good to offer topics and people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next winter it will be up to all of us to send in proposals for papers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me hear from you—it is time that we appear on this international scene as a new &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;generation offering new and exciting perspecti&lt;/span&gt;ves! MY address;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Thompson Island, eine grüne Insel, gelegen im Hafen von Bo­ston, rundum die Stadtsilhouette. Ich sitze in einem Raum mit 50 bis 60 Frauen; wir diskutieren Fragen feministischer Wissen­schaft und Erfahrungen aus dem Alltag von Frauen, die als Germa­nistinnen an Colleges und Univer­sitäten der USA lehren (oder stu­dieren). Anlaß ist die 7. Jahresta­gung von „Women in German". Dieser Verband ist ein Forum zum Austausch von Erfahrungen und Arbeitsergebnissen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Trotz der idyllischen Lage und .der außergewöhnlichen Zusam­menkunft entsteht kein Insel-Ge­fühl, wie es mich oft bei Frauen- Wochenendseminaren oder Frae- enwochen beschleicht — in der Vorahnung des „Realitätsschocks" bei der Rückkehr in den patriar­chalischen Arbeitstag. Es sind nicht die durchs Fenster sichtba­ren Wolkenkratzer, die an die Wirklichkeit erinnern. Es ist das Selbstbewußtsein, die Selbstver­ständlichkeit, z.T. auch der Prag­matismus der Beteiligten, denen man anmerkt, daß sie ihre Arbeit weniger außerhalb bzw. am Rande der Institutionen machen als die&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Frauen in der BRD. Es ist auch ei­ne Atmosphäre der Sicherheit, die aus der Geschichte des Verbandes kommt, der inzwischen ein recht gutes Kommunikationsnetz hat und an die wichtigsten akademi­schen und Fachorganisationen an­geschlossen ist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Vor sieben Jahren ist „Women in German" gegründet worden, in­zwischen hat der Verband ca.280 Mitglieder, überwiegend Frauen, einige wenige Männer, die sich mit Frauenliteratur beschäftigen. Das Ziel ist die Institutionalisierung und das Bemühen, Positionen an den Universitäten, aber auch in Fachzeitschriften und -verbänden zu erlangen, um Women’s Studies, feministische.Forschungiund auch einzelne Frauen fördern zu kön­nen. Inzwischen sind etliche Mit­glieder Professorinnen oder sitzen an Stellen, wo sie wissenschafts­politische Entscheidungen beein­flussen können. Mit 10% Frauen unter den Lehrenden an Colleges und Universitäten ist die Situation um einiges besser als in der BRD (3% in der Prof.-Gruppe).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Auf dieser Jahrestagung ging es um folgende Themen: Femini­stische Wissenschaft, Rapdbewe- gungen im deutschen Sprachraum, gibt es eine .weibliche Germani­stik'? Aussprechen des Unaus­&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Verhältnisse auffallend .pluralisti­sche’ Umgang mit Differenzen be­fremdend: faszinierend und ange­nehm, wie tolerant und ohne Drang zur Selbstdarstellung dis­kutiert wurde und wie sachlich und unbürokratisch gemeinsame Entscheidungen in einem großen Plenum gelangen; schön auch zu sehen, wie offen für die Inter. essen anderer sich die meisten zeigten, unverständlich aber auch, wie schnell einzelne von ihren&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;Vorschlägen abließen,.                         ,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;P.S. Ein ähnlicher Kongreß soll vom 24.-28.Mai 83 in Hamburg stattfinden mit dem Thema: „Fe­ministische Literaturwissenschaft zum Verhältnis von Frauenbildern und Frauenliteratur".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;ommt ein neues Buch aus der amerikanischen Frauenbewe­gung auf den Markt, wird es meist erst dann gelesen, wenn eine deut­sche Übersetzung vorliegt. Der Blick ins Lexikon macht das Lesen be­schwerlich.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;Diese Sammlung von Erfahrungsbe­richten lesbischer Jüdinnen aus Amerika habe ich allerdings sofort gelesen. Denn dieses Buch hätte in Deutschland nicht geschrieben wer­den können, und es ist sicher auch kein Zufall, daß es bislang nicht übersetzt worden ist. Die physische und kulturelle Ausrottung von Jü­dinnen und Juden während des Na­tionalsozialismus hat sich auch unter bundesrepublikanischen Verhältnis­sen soweit fortgesetzt, daß noch die jüngeren Generationen betroffen sind. Deutschland ist eben auch heutzutage kein Land, in dem Jüdin­nen eine eigene lesbische und femi­nistische Kultur entwickeln könnten. Und die deutsche Frauenbewegung ist kein Ort, wo Lesben und andere Frauen sich als Jüdinnen zusammen­finden. Es muß ganz kraß gesagt werden: Man kann in der bundes­deutschen Frauenbewegung Mutter sein, alleinstehend, kinderlos oder bärtig, asexuell, heterosexuell, be-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;mokratin, aber Jüdin kann man dort eigentlich nicht sein. Betretenes Schweigen, ratlose Gesichter, Pein­lichkeit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext30"&gt;„We don’t exist“, schreibt Evelyn Torton Beck in der Einleitung dieses Buches. Dennoch gibt es in den USA lesbische Jüdinnen, die über sich schreiben, die offensiv und ironisch sagen: „That’s funny, you don’t look like a jewish lesbian.“ Diese Frauen, Minderheit in der Frauenbewegung, Minderheit in der Lesbenbewegung und Minderheit in der jüdischen Gemeinschaft, konnten sich soweit zusammenfinden, daß sie selbst­bewußt über sich schreiben: Jüdische und lesbische Identität, Was bin ich für mich selbst?, Briefe aus Jerusa­lem, Juden im Patriarchat, Anti-Se- mitismus in der feministischen Be­wegung, schöne jüdische Frauen. „Nice Jewish Girls“ ist sicher kein brillantes Buch. Es bringt keine sen­sationellen Strategien und utopi­schen Wagnisse, aber viele Berichte sind voller Empfindsamkeit und Witz, Klugheit und Stolz. Es sollte auch hier möglichst bald erscheinen, damit die Diskussion beginnt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unlike most professional organizations, WOMEN IN GERMAN has not raised its rates in the past three years. We are able to keep rates low for students and the unemployed in part because of individual members who voluntarily pay the supporting membership rates (see dues structure below). Membership/subscription money is used to finance the publication of the WiG newsletter (three issues per year, March, August, November) and to partially cover expenses for the annual WiG conference and other events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of our efforts to generate additional funds to support more extensive WiG projects, such as publication of conference proceedings, we have added an additional category, sponsoring departments. Besides receiving the newsletter and other information sent to the WiG member­ship as a whole, German departments which become WiG sponsors will be eligible to purchase published materials at the same discount available to individual members. Also, they will be listed as sponsors in the August issue of the newsletter and in any publications partially funded through their support.&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>We fondly remember one of our early Women in German members, Martha Kaarsberg Wallach, Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages at Central Connecticut State University, who died a year ago, on February 28, 2017, &#13;
at the age of 85.  She was a wonderful, outgoing person, with a great sense of humor and curiosity. No surprise that she excelled in hilarious performances as a member oft the WIG cabaret. Her talent as a natural story teller was legendary, and her tales were often very funny, even when speaking of hardships, or tragedy—for instance, the flight of her family from wartime Poland, the death of her husband and her eldest son, her serious illnesses. She saw the world critically but also in a positive light. Her life centered on meaningful activity and purpose. Thus, she completed her Ph.D. while raising three children as a single mother after divorcing her first husband.  She became a full professor, as well as Chair of Modern Languagaes at Central Connecticut State University and was honored as the first female recipient with the distinguished Central Connecticut State Professorship in October 1998. Her students meant the world to her. She was deeply involved in research projects, in establishing scholarly exchanges with Germany, and she was active in many professional organizations. As topics for her publications she favoured women’s studies subjects. Even years after retiring from her position at the university she worked on a book that was published in the year 2000. &#13;

&lt;p&gt;Dear WIG Members,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our March issue brings our readers special greetings in honor of Interna­tional Women's Day. This annual day of celebration on March 8th was first called for by Clara Zetkin, who proposed it to the Second International Socialist Conference in 1910. Her inspiration came from the active efforts and struggles of working women, in particular the women garment worker's strike in New York on March 8, 1908. It is especially important to re-collect the historical struggles in which women have engaged at a time when many of our own efforts and successes are being threatened by an anti-feminist, conservative trend.&lt;br /&gt;In the spirit of International Women's Day and our need to unite in these times, we dedicate this Newsletter to women who have striven for women's emancipation in the past.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We would like to thank all of you who have shown their support for the WIG newsletter through renewals as well as new subscriptions. Financially, we seem to be in "good shape" now. Unfortunately, however, we need more than just financial input in order to keep our newsletter alive. If we wish to adhere to our policy, i.e., "to promote feminist scholarship and pedagogy in German literary and cultural studies, as well as in German language teaching" (WIG #22) then we need to become involved in a more creative, more sharing, more active way. The Newsletter should continue to be a means for dissipating information particularly relevant to all of us who are interested in German studies from a feminist perspective.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please, send us information about your current work, share discoveries you've made. Maybe you read an interesting book, heard a new record, saw a beautiful movie. We also would like to bring back to life the "Dear Wiggy" column. Gedankensplitter aller Art sind willkommen. Remember, this is &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;your &lt;/span&gt;Newsletter and the Collective here in Madison is but a "Sammel-und Verteilungsstelle for your information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once again, in the spirit of International Women's Day, let us renew our committment to a viable and exciting Newsletter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[drawing: Hiermit erkläre ich das Matriarchat für ausgebrochen und den Tag der Frau zum "Tag des Mannes"!]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;LETTERS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear WIG,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have formed a little group of Italian academic women (Universities of Rome, Perugia and Pescara) interested in women 's studies in German.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-2-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately we have no organization in Italy, although a comparatively high percentage of women already attends German studies in a number of univer­sities. Of course, we often go to Germany and are in touch with germanists, but it would be very interesting for us to know something more about the initiatives you take in the USA as germanist women abroad. We have received till now the Proceedings of Women in German 1977 and the special feminist issue of New German Critique; but we would be very pleased if you could inform us about meetings, courses, papers, publications etc. in Massachusetts and else­where. We are prepared to subscribe some American journals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our interest focuses on the 19th century (we are currently at work on an anthology "Dal salotto al partito" which is going to be published next fall). But we are interested both in GDR and FRG contemporary women writers as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thank you in advance for everything you will do for us and I remain&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yours sincerely,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lee LiAman&lt;br /&gt;Giuli Liebman Parrinello&lt;br /&gt;[redacted]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WIG WORKSHOP&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is another sunmary of the WIG Workshop session on "Forms of Our Bodies":&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sat. a.m. session: "The Forms of Our Bodies"&lt;br /&gt;Organizers: Bonnie Beckett and Jill McDonald&lt;br /&gt;Participants: Sara Lennox, Johanna Moore, Jeanette Clausen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt": this quota­tion from Wittgenstein served as a motto for the session. How do women express their physical existence? Are references to women's bodies used by female authors as part of particular language devices intended to overcome the "Sprachlosigkeit" they experience in a patriarchal world? Is the use of such references part of a general attempt on the part of women writers to create a new poetic language?&lt;br /&gt;The three presentations in the session taken together addressed all these questions They complemented each other and provoked a lively discussion of these and related issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sara Lennox analyzed the central image of nearsightedness in Ingeborg Bach­mann's "Ihr glücklichen Augen" as an expression of the distortions of patriarchal society (Miranda's astigmatism) and Miranda's acceptance of the patriarchal system (her "willed" myopia in that she refuses to wear her glasses). The patriarchal ideology of heterosexual love leads to Women's subjection and to men's victimization as well. Bachmann seems to have felt that women’s self­expression is coifled by patriarchy but not totally confined by it. Yet stepping outside the norms of this society usually leads to the destruction of Bachmann’s women, as when Miranda is cut by the glass door she walks into at the end of the story. In Gabriele Wohmann's "Ernste Absichte," women's physical being is reduced to their hair. As Johanna Moore pointed out, this part of the body comes to represent the whole. The focus on hair in our society as an expression of sexuality and the object of advertising propaganda is important here. The&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-3-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;fact that hair is actually dead thus becomes significant, as does its dis­appearing at times (under the habits of nuns) and its use as a camouflage.&lt;br /&gt;The heroine, a writer recovering from an "Unterleibsoperation", combs her hair back as she faces herself and the prospect of death openly. Jeanette Clausen showed the importance of the examination and articulation of the body as part of Verena Stefan’s attempt to restructure langauge as a female vehicle of expression ("Häutungen"). This writer, the one of the three to be writing in the most overtly feminist context, is the most explicit in connecting the expression of the body with reconstituting of language. Of the three, her linguistic experimentation represents the most optimistic attempt to overcome woman's "Sprachlosigkeit," or at least to begin to create new linguistic possibilities for doing so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ensuing discussion of the session began with the expression of a need of a new term other than "heterosexual love" to designate the negative manifesta­tions of the sexual ideology of patriarchy. "Patriarchal love relationships" was suggested as an alternative to avoid the alienation which the negative use of "heterosexual love" has for feminists involved in positive relationships with men. The discussion then turned to whether women can "speak through their bodies" since these traditionally have been possessed by men. It was pointed out that women are still largely speaking and writing out of a patriarchal perspective. In connection with this, Margot Schroeder reminded us that women should beware of being overly concerned with the expression of their bodies and their physical being. Such a one-sided focus is similar to the reduction of women to physical, biological beings so dominant in patriarchy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recorder: Linda S. Pickle &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* * * * * * * * * * *&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Political Action Committee was created at the WIG 1980 Workshop. The following is a reminder of how all WIG members can help this committee function effectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At its meeting in Racine last October, WIG decided to create a committee that would concern itself with political issues such as the hiring, promoting and tenuring of women Germanists, or the recent MLA decision to replace the pro­posed policy recommendation regarding sexist language by a simple suggestion that MLA members avoid discriminating language.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be effective (within the means of our limited time), the committee needs the cooperation of WIG members. Please let us know your concerns!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More specifically, we would like to ask you to send us any information you might have concerning hiring and promotion/tenure. We would like to start collecting information on these issues. Therefore let us know your and/or your friends' problems and success stories; let us know your experiences in job interviews. Our goal in this area is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a)  to collect statistics that will transcend the bare facts to be gleaned from the Personalia section in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Monatshefte&lt;/span&gt;;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;b)  to develop statistics with regard to the hiring and promoting/ tenuring of women by individual departments;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;c)  to set up a file of specific cases (short description of problem and attempts of and/or solutions) for reference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-4-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anybody needs some advice concerning a problem and the ways of handling it, I will be glad to share my experience (including three years on a College Faculty Appeals Committee) with you. Or contact any other member of the committee—we all want to pass on whatever knowledge we have acquired in this area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us hear from you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marianne Burkhard, Chair&lt;br /&gt;U. of Illinois, Urbana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Renny Harrigan&lt;br /&gt;U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Helen Fehervary&lt;br /&gt;Ohio State U., Columbus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ritta Jo Horsley&lt;br /&gt;U. of Massachussetts-Boston&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sara Lennox&lt;br /&gt;U. of Masschussetts-Amherst&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Minutes of Business Meeting at MLA - Houston, December 28, 1980&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Steering Committee&lt;/span&gt;: Marjorie Tussing asked to be replaced because of too many other commitments. It was agreed that Martha Wallach should be asked despite the fact that she is not from the West.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;MLA 1981&lt;/span&gt;: Proposal for two sections back to back on "German Romantic Women"; coordinators are Elke Frederiksen and Martha Wallach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;AATG 1981&lt;/span&gt;; AATG would allow a half-day preconference workshop on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. These workshops are for high school teachers. Gabriele Wickert and Barbara Wright would coordinate "Women in the Curriculum: Methods and Materials for Non-Sexist Education."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proposal deadline is early in January, Jeanette Clausen will contact people to see if proposal can be submitted; if this is impossible, we will pro­pose two sessions: 1) "Mothering in German Literature" (Ric Johnson, Karen Achbrger) and 2) on pedagogy as substitute for workshop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;WIG Workshop 1982&lt;/span&gt;: Since Christa Wolf cannot come, we decided to try to invite &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Sara Kirsch&lt;/span&gt;. Linda S. Pickle will coordinate the grant writing for the money, will be glad for any suggestions and help!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Site&lt;/span&gt;: Barbara Wright and Joey Horsley found the Thompson Island Education Center, a place on an island in Boston harbor. Price for two nights+meals+trans- portation from shore: $49.00. The Steering Committee decided that this should be the site for the 1982 WIG Workshop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Financial Report&lt;/span&gt;: Small profit from T-shirts, they are now available from Jeanette Clausen, Fort Wayne for $5.00.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Bibliography&lt;/span&gt;: Send titles of relevant publications to Sara Lennox, U. of Massa­chusetts, Amherst.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Political Action&lt;/span&gt;: Suggestion that we all make efforts to make students aware of procedures for sexual harassments (where they exist). Please send all info regarding tenure/promotion (good and bad) to Marianne Burkhard, U. of Illinois, Urbana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-5-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Heading30"&gt;&lt;b&gt;WIG CONFERENCE SIT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;E&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joey Horsley has Informed us that she was able to reserve the retreat center at Thompson Island in Boston Harbor for the 1982 WIG Workshop (October 5-17). The Island has 157 acres with beaches, groves, saltmarshes, self-guiding trails, playing fields and a gym. It is one mile from Boston by boat. It sounds wonderful! Thank you, Joey. Remember that the 1981 WIG Workshop will be held again in Racine, Wisconsin (October 16-18).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AATG Annual Meeting, November 1980, Boston, MA WIG Session: &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Feminist Teaching in Practice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
I. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;"Frauen" - A Model Curriculum Unit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Developed by Karen Weinschenker (Minneapolis Public Schools) as part of &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;A World of Women&lt;/span&gt;, a larger curriculum project directed by Mary Jane Roe (Minneapolis Public Schools), and funded by the Minnesota Council on Quality Education. Presented by Suzanne P. Jebe (Minnesota State Dept. of Education).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The objectives of these non-graded secondary learning materials (suitable for grades 7-12) are to increase student and teacher awareness of the role of females in German speaking cultures and to increase teacher effectiveness in the teaching of non-sexist materials. The curriculum packet includes annotated lists of 50 women who have made significant contributions to the arts, sciences, letters, or political and social developments, presented in both English and German; a smaller number of women are discussed at some­what greater length, some in English and some in German. Related classroom activities and brief reading selections for various levels focus on occupa­tional, family, and social roles. Posters and a synchronized slide-cassette tape presentation provide additional historical and contemporary material for classroom use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A limited number of the curriculum packets may be available; inquiries should be directed to Dr. Jermaine Arendt, Minneapolis Public Schools, Modern Language Department, 807 Northeast Broadway, Minneapolis, MN 55413.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;II. The Invisible Woman: Woman in the GDR - Issues and Social Policy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Margaret E. Ward, Wellesley College&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Too often in classrooms and instructional materials the women of the GDR have suffered a double invisibility, neglected both as part of a less familiar society and as women. An understanding of the situation of women in the GDR requires basic knowledge of official social policy in the GDR, which in its constitution, laws, and various institutions guarantees equal rights for women. This egalitarian social policy has provided important vehicles for significant progress in four areas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1) The sphere of public and political activity: Increasing numbers of women are active as elected officials and work to promote women's issues, although a pyramid still exists in SED party structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-6-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) Employment: Laws and programs providing incentive and training to women have resulted in 87% of women being employed, and in female representation in all sectors of the economy. Women are still underrepresented in top-level positions, however.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) Education: The gap between the sexes has been dramatically narrowed; all children receive the same 10-year polytechnical education and women now make up more than half of university-level students.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) Family: Official policy (Family Law, 1966) maintains that women's right to work and self-development is not to be hindered by housework or childraising, which are to be joint responsibilities of men and women. This principle is reflected in the availability of sex education, the pill, abortion; extra financial support for children, 26 weeks paid maternity leave, and state-supported kindergarten and Krippen. But this "private sphere" has also been most resistant to change: in addition to their paid labor women still spend 37 hours per week on housework compared to men's six hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the fact that attitudes and behaviors change more slowly than constitutional guarantees of equality might suggest, the GDR's progressive social policy in these areas has brought rapid changes in women's role and status. See attached list of selected resources.&lt;/p&gt;
III. &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Bettina Wegner: Liedermacherln of the GDR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victoria Joanne Moessner&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Born in Berlin in 1947, Bettina Wegner was briefly imprisoned, and expelled from the Berlin Schauspielschule in 1968 after distributing hand­bills in protest of the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. Despite this offense she was allowed to study at the Zentrales Studio für Unterhaltungs­Kunst from 1971-72, and thus had an entree into the officially sanctioned pop music scene of the GDR. Wegner quickly turned from such superficial popular music, however, to the production of songs of criticism and serious social comment in the tradition of Biermann and Brecht, working as a free­lance Liedermacherin in Berlin since 1973.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In June 1978 Wegner appeared at the Internationale Literatur-Tage in West Berlin; a recording of this performance is available ("Sind so Kleine Hände"). After Wegner joined other GDR intellectuals in protesting the government's action against Wolf Biermann her opportunities for performing in the GDR were restricted. In March 1980 she, her Husband Klaus Schlesinger, and their three children were granted visas to travel and live in West Berlin and the FRG for three years; Schlesinger is now working as a journalist in West Berlin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In her songs Wegner often takes the part of the underdog and powerless, especially children, criticizing social and governmental pressures to con­form. She treats aspects of woman's existence in the "Männergesellschaft", as she termed GDR society in an interview in &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Die &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Zeit&lt;/span&gt;. With their accessible vocabulary and style and vivid message Wegner’s songs are useful for intro­ducing students to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Liedermacher&lt;/span&gt;, and for beginning a discussion of such topics as the position of women in the GDR and the problems of dissident artists and intellectuals. See attached list of selected resources.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;WIG WORKSHOP 1981&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will be a session on &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;German-Jewish Women Writers&lt;/span&gt; at the 6th annual &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Women in German&lt;/span&gt; conference, October 16-18, 1981, in Racine, Wisconsin. This session is intended to focus on writers who grapple in their work with the complex intersection of what it means/has meant to be German Jewish and a woman—an intersection of multiple identities and oppressions. We are not placing a limit on the time periods or genres to be included. Please send all inquiries, ideas, abstracts, or working drafts to &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;both&lt;/span&gt; Evelyn T. Beck, 2319 Huidekoper Place, NW, Washington, D.C. 20007 and Lynne Ozer, [redacted] by April 15, 1981.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-9-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***********&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There will also be a session tentatively titled "New Ways of Reading: Critical Feminist Approaches to Specific Primary Texts." Our purpose is to contribute to analysis. There will be three separate workshops, each to focus on one preselected primary text from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, as well as a large plenary session for the presentation and discussion of theoretical perspectives. More specific information about texts will be printed in the next newsletter. In the meantime, if you have suggestions or inquiries, write to: Susan Cocalis (18th c.), Department of German, University of Massachusetts- Amherst, Amherst, MA; Biddy Martin (late 19th c.), Department of German, Univer­sity of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53703; Karen Jankowsky (20th c.), Depart­ment of German, Washington University, St. Louis, MO.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;AATG Pre-Conference Workshop Proposal&lt;/span&gt;: Denver, November 1981&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Forward to Basics: Non-Sexist German Instruction at the Beginning Level&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This workshop will first sensitize participants to problems of overt and covert sexism in German language instruction. A variety of corrective strategies will then be presented: 1) for adapting existing textbooks to non-sexist use, 2) for enriching language programs with cultural materials that focus on women, and 3) for supplementing regular instruction with non-sexist exercises and games. Finally, participants will have an opportunity to analyze a sample lesson plan for sexual bias and modify it using the techniques which have been discussed. Bibliographies and resource information will also be distributed. If you would like to make a presentation within this general framework, please submit an abstract (2-3 pages) by April 15, 1981. Send your proposal to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="Bodytext40"&gt;THE LETTERS AND JOURNALS OF PAULA MODERSOHN-BECKER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext40"&gt;Translated and annotated by J. Diane Radycki Introduction by Alessandra Comini &lt;br /&gt;Epilogue by Adrienne Rich and Lilly Engler&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;370 pages 1980 illus. LC: 80-18993, ISBN 0-8108-1344-0, $17.50&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The developing persona of a young woman painter at the turn of the century, living in vulnerable isolation, struggling to resolve the conflict between what she demanded of herself as an artist and what society expected of her as a married woman is chronicled in &lt;i&gt;The Letters and Journals of Paula Modersohn- Becker.&lt;/i&gt; It is one of those rare documents that allows us to see someone become who she is. This major early Expressionist created deeply felt images, “monumental in their intimacy,” in her paintings and in her writings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The reader is provided with an intriguing guide to the art capitals of Berlin, London, and Paris as seen through the eyes of a woman studying art, and we view through “a sometimes hyperborean light” the changing relationships between Becker and her friends, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Clara Westhoff (the sculptor who married Rilke), and her husband, the painter Otto Modersohn. The letters begin when Becker is in art school and end within a month of her tragic death in 1907 at age thirty-one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;This is the first presentation of Becker’s writings in English— an event long overdue. The extensively annotated translation uses contemporary sources to delineate the artistic milieu and the relevant historical-social-feminist situation in 1900. New light is shed on the art education of Becker, who, like Klthe Kollwitz, is one of the first woman artists to come from a non- artistic background. '&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;The volume is eloquently introduced by Alessandra Comini, author of &lt;i&gt;The Fantastic Art of Vienna&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Egon Schiele’s Portraits&lt;/i&gt; (nominated for the 1973 National Book Award). The epilogue includes Rilke’s intense “Requiem” of 1908 (trans­lated by Lilly Engler and Adrienne Rich, and never before published) and Rich’s own moving “Paula Becker to Clara Westhoff." Of special interest to artists, art historians, and feminists, this record of a short and fiercely lived life will draw all readers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="Bodytext20"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;About the translator/annotator&lt;/span&gt; Diane Radycki is an art historian who began her study of tum-of-the century art and art education as a graduate student at Hunter College. She is included in the recently published &lt;i&gt;Voices of Women,&lt;/i&gt; and is currently writing a biography of Paula Modersohn-Becker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Linguistische Berichte &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;69&lt;/span&gt; special issue on &lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Language, Sex and Power I &lt;/span&gt;edited by Luise Pusch and Senta Trömel-Plötz just appeared. It contains the first guidelines for non-sexist use for the German language.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;Left-Most Fold:
&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;PROJECT OVERVIEW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      Secondary learning materials in the most commonly taught languages of French, German and Spanish often portray females in less capable, less significant roles. In most cases, little or no information is included on women who have lived their own lives, expressed themselves fully and fearlessly and exerted as much influence as they could -- whether in dealing with kings and emperors, or in the fields of art, science, letters or the theater. Outstanding males in other cultures are commonly recognized and studied; outstanding females are recognized on a limited basis or not at all. Supplementary units and materials are needed to raise student awareness and eliminate sex bias in the study of other cultures. A WORLD OF WOMEN has been designed and funded to help fill the void.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[image: centered, logo of Minneapolis Board of Education, black square, white circle inside with black letters MPS inside]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The Minneapolis Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, merital status with regard to public assistance, or disability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Center Fold]
&lt;div style="text-align:center;"&gt;OBJECTIVES&lt;/div&gt;

              <text>Pat Herminghouse Interview&#13;
Edited by Morgan Hunter - 2022&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: So, okay! So, why don’t we start with you just telling us name, affiliation, where you’re from, how many years you were in WiG, when you joined WiG, how you first heard about it.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Okay, I am Pat Herminghouse and I am Fuchs Professor Emerita of German Studies, University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. I have lived in the U.S. all my life. I joined WiG when we established WiG! I was sort of there at the starting moment in 1974 and it was a reaction to a situation that had occurred at a conference in which I had given a paper and it was criticized by a very prominent member of the profession as not being “Germanistik,” and then it was… it just at the point where, I think, also our male colleagues were becoming aware of some of the factors behind feminism and had realized that they could no longer ask their wives to prepare food and organize everything for every occasion. So, as someone who didn’t have a wife, I got involved with being responsible for getting some of that organized and the women were standing around talking about how we were so shocked at this moment and realized that there was a bigger attendance at the conference than had been expected as a Washington U conference on the first one, I think, on the G.D.R. and suddenly realized that not one of us spoke during that discussion. You know, we all sat silently and said this has got to stop and we were so agitated in that conversation, we realized that all the chairs were gone and taken. And, so, we were in a little side room in this building that we used for things like hosting conference events, and we all wound up on the floor, Luise would say, “Ganz am Boden.”&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: Oh my gosh.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: And, at that point we had… somebody had a pad of yellow paper and we passed it around, we all signed our names on it and said, “Okay we’re going to stay in touch and make sure that things happen.” And so, I think I was the one that organized—it wasn’t a big organization—we asked for meeting space at the Midwest MLA and then at the big MLA, and, at that point, things really took off in a much broader circle of people. We would do something and, I don’t remember how it was that we wound up with Gisela Bahr at Ohio, Miami of Ohio, who offered us… to get a facility for us there and we wound up with this Miami University facility, kind of retreat center in the woods, and that would have been 1975 or 6. &#13;
&#13;
Muellner: Okay.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: We’ll have to count back on that. And it was completely basic, you know, we had bunkrooms and we brought food and cooked our own spaghetti and we’re all there, there are many, many pictures now that are available of that first event, people who are now actually retirement age there with their small babies. So, that was my first contact, is to see how that moved along.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: Yeah. And, so, what was the name of the paper that you gave at that initial conference that provoked such a response?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: It was actually a paper that nowadays would probably never get on a program. But it was something about, I think it had zippier title, but it was about the images of women presented in G.D.R. literature.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: Oh, okay.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: You know, and, the women who were the crane operators and Christa Wolf with her story of working in the railroad car factory. So, there were just these kind of images, but it was all talking about… wasn’t it a theoretical level? The type of theory was very big, we had Robert Weimann there who major theoretician in Comp. Lit. So, it was an untheoretical paper, it was just sort of the first baby steps. It wasn’t the first paper I’d ever done, but it was early on.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: It just got a really negative response.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Yeah. Nobody criticized the specifics of it, it was rather that, “Is this what feminists have turned theoretical Germanistik into?” I think that was the tenor of the concern. You know that we would be backing off of our high theory. Which I don’t think happened in the long run. But the first baby steps were that way.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: What was that first conference, then, in Ohio like? Besides you… sitting around and cooking together and what kinds of things did you talk about?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Oh, we had a program. I don’t know if we can recover that program.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: It’s possible that we have it.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: But, it would be in the newsletter. The… what happened that was so good is after that… the women at the University of Wisconsin took on doing the newsletter. It was modeled on the G.D.R. newsletter that I had started just about a year before. So, we were all doing it; type or cut or paste and photocopy.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: So, in some of these photos that we have…&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: That’s the 1970…&#13;
&#13;
[Recording cuts off before starting again.]&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: So we kind of talked about when and how WiG began for you. So, do you want to talk about your career before WiG?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: I was an assistant professor with two young preschool children at that time and I was, in some ways, rescued by a senior colleague who actually had advised my dissertation after the first advisor, who had been a little bit uncomfortable for me, left and I was hired in the department I was trained in, which is a little bit unusual.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: OK. And where was this?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Washington University. And, so, I was just kind of holding things together and our children had seizures [...] disorders at the time, and she saw what was happening and, without asking me, went to the provost, and arranged half-time leave for as long as I needed up to 10 years or something like that. So, I was already on that half-time leave when all of this came about, and what it meant was I taught half a load and did a load and a half of administration, but that’s the way those arrangements go, but it did make a big difference for me. So, I had ten years assistant professor before I came up for tenure. And that was at the university then, women saw that I had that, we started to organize and, just typical, it’s not WiG, but it’s part of the story of women in academe. We had a very promising young assistant professor, single woman, in the English department and we were trying to find out what kinds of arrangements are made outside of this thing that I had handed to me on a silver platter and there was nothing really. She went to the chair of her department, and she was a year or two short of tenure, and asked him, you know, what the policy was in case of a pregnancy. And he said, “I would expect any woman in that condition to resign.” You know, whereas my department saw me through two pregnancies. So… there was a difference.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: That is interesting.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Yeah. And, so, that was the kind of thing that was in the air and women kind of trying to figure out in a time of—early on these whole questions of tenure/promotion wasn’t that tough and the job market went really south in 1975. And, so, there was this feeling of “Things are changing, we don’t really understand what’s going to happen. How do we, you know, stay on our feet through all of this?” Some of the early panels were that way, too.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: Okay. So, the job market went south in ’75, what was that attributed to?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: I just… I remember MLA was in San Francisco and you’d see people just standing in the hallways crying because interviews were cancelled, and it was just a really sad, sad event.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: A low point.&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: Well, there were other low points but for those of us in those early years, that was the first of several to come.&#13;
&#13;
Muellner: So, how many women were in the department when you started?&#13;
&#13;
Herminghouse: There was one, the senior woman, and… Lucile was after I started, Peter Hohendahl came later. The other medieval... no, Gerhild… So, outside of this one senior woman, I was the only one.&#13;
&#13;
M: Out of how many, then?&#13;
 &#13;
H: Oh, dear. Probably eight to ten, maybe?&#13;
&#13;
M: Okay.&#13;
&#13;
H: Something like that. But then the department really grew. I think starting the G.D.R. studies and the concentrated effort to build a graduate program really brought results. And we had a lot of German exchange students. So, I mean I had seminars where I’d have maybe eight or nine exchange students and one or two Americans.&#13;
&#13;
M: Wow, that’s interesting. So, and then you stayed at Wash U…?&#13;
&#13;
H: Until I was invited to go to Rochester to chair a department there.&#13;
&#13;
M: And then you stayed there until the end. And how many years was that, then, total?&#13;
&#13;
H: It was 15 years at Rochester. I took an early retirement buyout in 1997. I was still in my 50s.&#13;
&#13;
M: Then talking a little bit more about WiG. So, what role did WiG play in your career?&#13;
&#13;
H: I think it got me out and moving. I think that’s probably the main thing. That before then I didn’t know that many people in other departments, I didn’t go to very many conferences… one of my colleagues poked me a few times and said, “Hey here’s an opportunity, you ought to do that.” But I really wasn’t outward-looking. And I think that contact with, you know, women from all over the country made such a difference in just… being out and able to take on things.&#13;
&#13;
M: And so, then, the next question is what role did you play in WiG?&#13;
&#13;
H: Well, for those first few years, when I really had to ask for, you know, certain things we wanted, I called myself national organizer, but we had no governing body. I mean, we were happily anarchic, and I could remember when the first attempts were made to say, “Okay, now.” I think we had a steering committee first, and the steering committee governed. And then the feeling was, “No, there had to be a point person.” And I remember many WiG members felt we were letting go of our anarchic tradition there and going the ways of the establishment. It’s worked out wonderfully, but at the time I think there was a lot of anxiety about going to a president with singular powers.&#13;
&#13;
M: Right.&#13;
&#13;
H: I don’t know how much power the president has, I’ve never been president of WiG so…&#13;
&#13;
M: Well, yeah… I think we’ve kind of tried to stay faithful to the initial idea of it as just being a leader in image, sort of, you know? Sort of idea of the president.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, there has to be a point person.&#13;
&#13;
M: But the steering committee really still runs the show. That’s very much the case. So, did you feel like being in WiG gave you a sense of, you know, ways that you could better plug into the profession more widely back in your own institution? So, when you said before that you really kind of, you know, stayed unto yourself when you were at your own department and so did joining WiG help you get a sense of how you can be active more broadly in the profession? Like, looking at what other women did?&#13;
&#13;
H: In the profession, yes. I think in my home institution I already was.&#13;
&#13;
M: Okay.&#13;
&#13;
H: I was one of the co-founders of the Women’s Studies program there and so I was active there.&#13;
&#13;
M: Okay, well, that’s important!&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah!&#13;
&#13;
M: So that, then, that experience, then, probably helped inform what you were doing at WiG too.&#13;
&#13;
H: Right. And I think, you know, in a certain way it was supported at Washington U at that time, and so I was able to partner somehow with the history department and I was able to hire… what did we call those… special appointment in the history department. I think they were called adjuncts. Visiting assistant professor, I think she was, who, with me, then devised some early women’s studies courses.&#13;
&#13;
M: So, do you think Washington University was unique?&#13;
&#13;
H: No, I think that things like this were starting in other places, but none of us at these other places knew about it until we started to get together and find out, you know, what could and could not be done.&#13;
&#13;
M: Right.&#13;
&#13;
H: And, I think there were also differences in structure because already by ’74, I think, I had taught – or ’75 I guess – I taught my first G.D.R. Lit class and I remember Gisela Bahr, who helped us so much, saying to me almost with tears in her eyes when at WiG we were talking about what kinds of courses can we teach. I said, “Well, I’ve been doing this course on woman writers and one on G.D.R. Lit.” and she said, “Well, how did you ever get that through?” and I said, “Well, I just wrote up a description and we put it in the course listings.” And she was at a state institution, and here she was, full professor, and she’d have to go through, like, three levels of approval and was quite sure she’d never get it through.&#13;
&#13;
M: Wow, so the difference between a private and a…&#13;
&#13;
H: Private and state, I think there was some difference there.&#13;
&#13;
M: Interesting.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, and Washington U it was always a very liberal institution.&#13;
&#13;
M: So, and then moving to Rochester you had similar kinds of…&#13;
&#13;
H: It was… no, it was starting there at a much different level.&#13;
&#13;
M: So, you had to kind of reinvent the wheel a little bit there.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, I was there, again, one of the co-founders… at the institute… and I was involved with the establishment of that.&#13;
&#13;
M: And so, were you invited to be chair in Rochester because of sort of some of the progressive work that you had been doing at Washington do you think? Did it have something to do with feminism?&#13;
&#13;
H: No, I think that 1983 I think was the year that I was up for promotion for full professor and the people who were writing for me were also aware of other unhappinesses there, and there was someone who was an assistant dean at Rochester, it was [Ann Fein?] who had been at Harvard, and she had started working on G.D.R. Lit as well and so when they decided to find, she just sort of put my name in the hopper and beyond that they, I guess, had written to some people, “Can you make suggestions?” And, I happen to have copy of a couple of the letters that people who wrote for my promotion just basically reformulated that letter and sent it to Rochester. So, it was just outright an offer. You know, I don’t think things like that are legal anymore.&#13;
&#13;
M: Right, probably not.&#13;
&#13;
H: And I was hired to Washington U the same way. I came home from teaching at the University of Missouri, St. Louis and in the mailbox was a letter offering me assistant professorship, director of undergraduate programs.&#13;
&#13;
M: Wow.&#13;
&#13;
H: And I got the job at the University of Missouri because we lived near there and I walked up there in painting clothes to see what the place was all about—it was new—and wandered in the building of foreign languages where I encountered the department chair who was a very leftist Cuban and he was very unhappy with the German program and said, “You know,” wrote me a job offer right on the spot.&#13;
&#13;
M: Wow.&#13;
&#13;
H: I mean those days are over, but he was… He called it the department of “Peyton Place”. &#13;
&#13;
M: Painting place! &#13;
&#13;
H: So, he hired me.&#13;
&#13;
M: That’s interesting. So how did you get involved in German to begin with?&#13;
&#13;
H: Oh.&#13;
&#13;
M: That’s a whole other story.&#13;
&#13;
H: It’s a whole other story.&#13;
&#13;
M: Okay, do we not want to go there?&#13;
&#13;
H: Well, I was a math major in college, and I did the junior year in Germany, and I took some German courses there, I thought they were pretty awful, I did some math courses, but when I came back in my senior year, the chair of the math department was a legendary, kind man when I told him that I was thinking of going on in pure math. Those were the days when department chairs called one another and said, “Hey I’ve got a fellowship available, you know, ...” And he just said to me, “That’s not a field for a woman.”&#13;
&#13;
M: Wow.&#13;
&#13;
H: And, meanwhile, I had sort of met the love of my life and so I thought, “Okay. I’ll get back to Europe.” So, I applied to, for Fulbright and I got to get back to Germany and I was just there, and it was all this serendipity stuff, so I applied for Austria. Still, then that point I refashioned myself as wanting to be a German teacher in schools and instead I wound up…&#13;
&#13;
M: At the university.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah. And so, from Europe I was applying for graduate programs and not knowing much. I just I knew where I was liking to go and so I just thought, I went fishing, all along thinking I’d still have to teach school. Knowing nothing I got a very snide letter from, I think it was Princeton said, “If you don’t know that we’re an all-male university. You really don’t need to be apply here.”&#13;
&#13;
M: Nice.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah. So, anyway so I went, and I did my graduate work at Washington U as well and then got hired. I had the year… I taught part-time at the Catholic women’s college just across the road and then I taught at the University of Missouri and there was that first year at Missouri. I think it was November that I found this letter in my mailbox saying, “How about coming back and teaching here.”&#13;
&#13;
M: Things are different now.&#13;
&#13;
H: They are.&#13;
&#13;
M: And so, I know that you were yearbook editor at WiG. So, could you talk a little bit about that? Were you involved in the… when did the yearbook start?&#13;
&#13;
H: The yearbook started, that was Jeanette Clausen and—so I don’t remember what year I came on. But Sara just very pointedly recruited me as editor.&#13;
&#13;
M: Friedrichsmeyer?&#13;
&#13;
H: Sara Friedrichsmeyer. As co-editor and then, when Sara wanted to step down, we very aggressively recruited Susanne Zantop. And then when Susanne died, I was hired, I think I was recruiting Ruth-Ellen Joeres. But, you know, it was that kind of just actively recruiting someone. And they ultimately applied, I think, but it wasn’t like it is now where you have job specs. That came… I don’t remember when.&#13;
&#13;
M: And so, you were not on the steering committee? Or you were on the steering committee?&#13;
&#13;
H: I don’t remember.&#13;
&#13;
M: Okay. Well, we can look that up too. But, what about…&#13;
&#13;
H: I don’t think so.&#13;
&#13;
M: If you were, you were saying that, that all those things kind of developed over time so…. You were definitely a part of the organization, the democratic voice in the mix for sure. But what about now maybe an anecdote? Do you have a memorable moment at WiG or of WiG or?&#13;
&#13;
H: Let’s come back to that. Let me think about that a little.&#13;
&#13;
M: We can come back to that. Well, okay so then the next question is some of the hardest discussions or debates that came up at WiG.&#13;
&#13;
H: I think already in the… either in the later in the ‘70s or early in the ‘80s, we began to think about and were in hard debates… we were called… people called us on the fact that our Jewish members felt that we were, they were simply invisible. They felt talked over, that they didn’t… they weren’t accepted for who they were but rather for who we thought they were. And it became, it was very painful discussions that went on over several years. You know, we all kind of had to realize that we had sort of ignored all of this and no sooner had we sort of begun to work out our relationship to that, then the lesbian members called us on the fact that we had done exactly the same thing with them. You know, they were there, and we all knew that, I had a couple of my grad students were there, but it wasn’t a topic. And then finally that also became something that we had to come to terms with and accept identities, and you know we're now two minorities, I think there was lull there before we really realized what we were—we’re still a very white organization. And so, that was—that came then next. But I think when that first comes out and certainly within the last couple of years where our whiteness was the issue. But they came sequentially, and I think it was probably a natural…&#13;
&#13;
M: Progression.&#13;
&#13;
H: Progression, yeah.&#13;
&#13;
M: And it seems like the issue around graduate students, there’s some, there are always some tensions with graduate students not feeling, you know, included and there was a lot of work, maybe when I kind of started out I felt like there was a lot of work to include graduate students and to make sure they felt welcome and those kinds of things.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, well, you know I’ve had quite a bit of experience with the GSA it was exactly the same thing there. And only it was a little bit different, I think, with GSA it was more a feeling that if it became recognized as a student organization internationally, it would make, would not play as big leagues with the international, but it didn’t happen, but there were some big fights. But at that point the graduate students in WiG I think were well integrated.&#13;
&#13;
M: Yeah, and now we’re starting to talk about including undergrads.&#13;
&#13;
H: Really?&#13;
&#13;
M: Well, a little bit. Just because things are shifting, you know? I mean there’s not as many graduate programs producing graduate students, there’s a lot of money given at, a lot of us are at smaller institutions with only undergrads and so there’s a lot of support from our institutions for us to work with undergraduates, you know, so it kind of feels like it’s, you know, trickling down in a way and, you know, and there are a lot of great graduate students who are doing interesting work. So, you know, could be—&#13;
&#13;
H: You know, one of the things that ragged me a lot in WiG was the kind of, and actually I had a couple of people say that to me, once they got tenure, they didn’t need WiG anymore. And so, we had a decent amount of attrition at that level. Once you were, you know, were in safe then attendance dropped, participation.&#13;
&#13;
M: That’s interesting. That could still be a little bit of an issue.&#13;
&#13;
H: Well, you know, I think it’s something that we really need to think about that, you don’t just turn your back on whatever it was that got you.&#13;
&#13;
M: Nurtured you.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, and so that really used to get me very angry.&#13;
&#13;
M: Yeah, I can see that. That’s an issue. So do you have a favorite cabaret moment?&#13;
&#13;
H: I don’t think it’s a moment. And it’s a tradition I think we may have lost some of, though its gone… there were a series of years there where people like Hester Baer, Lisa Roetzel took on, and who was it that always used to be… the woman from the NPR radio program…&#13;
&#13;
D: Nina Tittenburg.&#13;
&#13;
H: Yes!&#13;
&#13;
M: That’s right!&#13;
&#13;
D: That’s not her real name.&#13;
&#13;
M: No, its not, who used to do that? Jeanine Blackwell! Jeanine Blackwell was it?&#13;
&#13;
H: I think so I’m not sure.&#13;
&#13;
M: Or Jeanette Clausen? Wasn’t it Jeanette Clausen?&#13;
&#13;
D: One of the two.&#13;
&#13;
M: I think it was her… or I remember when I first heard her coming, wasn’t Wendy Aarons the one who always performed like George Bush? She came out with a cowboy hat once. Yeah.&#13;
&#13;
H: There was… so those were my favorites and some of those seeing in those… I still like it now but, in those years, I always used to look forward to how these stock characters would transform into something in the moment for the cabaret.&#13;
&#13;
M: Right, yeah. And so, we’re kind of at our last question unless you can come up with your anecdote. But we can also, I can also ask you another time about that. You can think about it, we can come back to it. The last question is, “what are the three words that come to mind when you think of WiG?”&#13;
&#13;
H: Supportive. Daring. Enduring.&#13;
&#13;
M: Great! Okay, thanks so much Pat. This was wonderful.&#13;
&#13;
H: Because it really has gone on now for, what? Forty years?&#13;
&#13;
M: Yeah, hoping to keep up the momentum.&#13;
&#13;
H: You know in that it was very much a product of its time, and those times have changed.&#13;
&#13;
M: They have.&#13;
&#13;
H: But, there has been this enduring…&#13;
&#13;
M: Yeah, I think that’s one of the things that I noticed looking through Sara’s box is how so many of those papers and conversations through letters really are similar to what we’re talking about now. They may have… the topics may have changed slightly…&#13;
&#13;
H: Yeah, that’s why I wanted to get access to that file just to look. Because remember those things were, you know, they were backstories and I know the backstories, but I couldn’t… and I was looking… I specifically gave someone, and I’m not sure it was Sara, the list— I think I might still have a photocopy of it but not the original document – of the women at that Washington U conference, who signed yellow-lined paper.&#13;
&#13;
M: That would be awesome to have that paper.&#13;
&#13;
H: It was just, you know, yellow legal pad passed around and names went on and not very many of those people are still with WiG because Wisconsin brought a number of graduate students. So, we had Evi Beck was there and I can’t remember who else… some of the ones that aren’t really with WiG anymore. Nancy Vedder-Shults I think was there. And so, there was already that core, and the fact that, you know, our grad students, the Washington grad students were very active, the Wisconsin grad students, and when the Miami conferences happened, you know, we took a couple carloads, I had a station wagon, Leslie Adelson had a yellow… an orange… oh, what is it… VW car? Rabbit.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
H: Rabbit, yeah.&#13;
