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 (CWSW) – October 1979 Newsletter, was the first issue published for its members and those interested in the Center's activities. This early Newsletter outlined its objective: to be a place where the Center could share information about projects and research within the City University of New York (CUNY) and feminist scholarship and developments in the women's movement beyond the university. Additionally, it stated its mission to create a network for feminist scholars, researchers, and activists. The Newsletter reported on twenty-one in progress research projects, five seminars and study groups, notes and announcements on rallies, brochures, events, studies, and job openings. The Newsletter closed with a list of the Center's events for October 1979.
