| Transcript | A TIME FOR ACTION: SUMMARY—SEPT. 6 BUSINESS MEETING Members of Houston Area N.O.W.: 1. Voted to donate to the Sue Bennett Defense Fund. 2. Made plans for a substitute program to replace the play which had been cancelled by Family Services one week prior to the scheduled date. 3. Elected these delegates to the National N.O.W. Conference in Washington, D.C. Oct. 6-9: Kathy Fitrakis, Delegate Jill Maleki, Alternate Delegate Leona Hershkowitz, Delegate Regina Dotson, Alternate Delegate. Norma Saldona, Delegate CONFERENCE There will be a district conference of the American Association for University Women the weekend of October 20-22 at the University of Houston/ Clear Lake City. N.O.W. members who are also A.A.U.W. members are encouraged to attend this conference and the concurrent National World Future Society Conference at UH/CLC. The male-dominated World Future Society is offering a paucity of material at their conference about women in the future, except for one speaker. Anita Miller, highly acclaimed spokesperson for the E.R.A., will present "Women, Education and the Future" Saturday, Oct. 21, at 3 p.m. (check with UH/CLC for possible schedule changes). The registration fee for the W.F.S. conference is reportedly expensive, but A.A.U.W. members may attend for a fee of $5.00 per day, which,if paid at the conference Saturday, will enable a member to attend Ms. Miller's lecture. herstory One of the earliest known examples of a woman who made her living by writing was Christine de Pisan (Italian, c. 1364-1430). She was an outstanding advocate for women's emancipation, by stating that women should educate themselves, train in law in order to manage their own estates, and form clubs or unions to protect women's interests. She was well known in educated circles, writing on a diversity of subjects, including probably the first feminist book, Pit de la Rose, in 1401. She also wrote a collection of stories about celebrated women of the past, a biography of Joan of Arc, and autobiography in defense of herself. Her compositions, all on manuscript copies, were "best sellers" of the time. j |
