Kathy Dennison 304 Parker, chairperson
Anne Wellington 422 Cobb

Women Speak
"Women Speak" is a non-credit women's studies course sponsored by AWS and taught by women who formerly taught Anthropology 99, Women in Modern Society, which has now been discontinued.

Thus it follows a more open format than would be correct in other disciplines. Members of the teaching collective describe it as "sisters sharing with sisters their knowledge and experiences of what it means to be a woman in our male-centered culture." Each session is taught by a different woman who has devoted extensive study to the topics.
The course is open to anyone, and one may attend one session or all of them. They are held in Room 202-204 of the Union from 7:30 to 9:30 on Thursday evenings.
