CUNY DIGITAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

The Center for the Study of Women and Sex Roles - now the Center for the Study of Women and Society's (CSWS) June 1980 Newsletter began with a piece by Judith Lorber discussing her research. Her objective was to identify invisible barriers and informal influences on male and female physicians' careers, particularly those preventing qualified female physicians from advancing in their fields. This report was followed by information on research and faculty associates – and visiting scholars joining the Center members in 1980-1981. The Women's Studies Program at CUNY's Graduate Center also provided information on course offerings. A reflection on the concert and panel discussion by women composers held the previous month preceded announcements on employment opportunities, book competitions, conventions, grants, resources, and activism work.
