  Abstract: “I had NO IDEA that WSQ started as Women’s Studies Newsletter,” I wrote with surprise to Julie Enszer in summer 2021 after reading issues of the newsletter for the first time. Although I have taught and written about feminist newsletters and newspapers published in the 1970s and about the institutionalization of women’s and gender studies (WGS), the Women’s Studies Newsletter (WSN) had never surfaced during my time in archives, libraries, and classrooms. How had I missed it' As a compendium of articles, essays, resources, and reviews from WGS practitioners about their feminist ideals and daily labors, it maps the field’s early years and the range of creative, practical strategies employed to find space within a ...

  Abstract: This is not a book one summarizes. Constantly fluctuating between the macrolevel themes that form her unorthodox chapter titles (dreams, ideas, spaces, objects, looks, feelings, actions, songs) and the microlevel examples she enticingly dangles before us, Lucy Delap keeps us at the edge of our seats, waiting for the next treat, confident that it is likely to be just as tasty and intriguing as the last. Reading this book is a bit like sunbathing on the beach chair next to your most erudite and well-traveled feminist aunt, who scarcely lets ten minutes pass without offering up a “did you know that in the nineteenth century, women . . . ,” making everyone else drop their sunglasses down to their nose with a “no way . ...

  Abstract: On April 2, 2022, nearly four hundred people gathered to commemorate the life of Black feminist scholar, activist, and educator bell hooks (née Gloria Jean Watkins) in her hometown of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. hooks died at the age of sixty-nine of renal failure in her home on December 15, 2021. She was a prolific writer and incisive cultural critic. The commemoration generated a space for collective mourning and celebration of a poet who published more than forty books. Commemorators shared memories about their experiences and remarked on her cultural and intellectual legacy. Images of hooks alongside quotes from her works, interviews, and speeches spread widely across social media channels. I joined the chorus as a ... Read More

  Abstract: This special issue is devoted to the fiftieth anniversary of WSQ, and a half-century of social justice activism within and outside the academy. We are inviting editors of feminist publications to select the issue of their own journal that they see as a classic. Though Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society foregrounds Black studies, it also exists within a genealogy of feminist publications. This is well reflected through your leadership and the journal’s history. Let’s begin with you: How did you become the journal’s editor'I’m a historian of feminism, Black feminist, writer, and activist of many years.

  Abstract: “The sky is sweeter than the earth; I want the sky and not the earth.”With these words, posted to her Instagram page a day before her suicide, Sarah Hegazi bid farewell to a world she described as too cruel to bear and survive. In her parting letter, she asked forgiveness of her loved ones, and she forgave the earth its cruelty as she turned toward the sky. The photo that accompanied her message shows her lying in the grass, squinting as the sun shined on her, turned toward the camera with eyes closed and a smile spread across her face.It is best to describe Hegazi in her own words. As expressed on her Insta-gram profile, she was “super communist, super gay and feminist” (Hegazi 2020). Hegazi became known to ... Read More

  Abstract: The summer of 2020 is the first summer of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I spend it (in the Midwest, locked up, scared, confused, alert, anxious, sad, sometimes mad) working on a series of collages. I’m not a visual artist, but a writer, and before this unexpected move into graphic media, I’ve been writing from cut-ups, finding hidden poetry, or what seems like it, in the headlines of the magazines available for free on the generous, quiet streets of Iowa City. The world is ending and I’m broke, in a country that is merciless to its immigrants.

  Abstract: In Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University, Matt Brim offers a critique of and a wish for Queer Studies. Drawing on his role as a professor of Queer Studies at the College of Staten Island (CSI), “one of the queerest colleges” he knows, Brim lays out a necessary and new direction for Queer Studies, emphasizing the need to inject a multifaceted class and status critique and for “mak[ing] the field stretchy enough to accommodate and respond to its many class locations” (27, 26). Brim demonstrates this adherence to stretchiness by playing with academic form, identifying untold and unsaid weaknesses in the discipline of Queer Studies, and utilizing a diversity of source materials to reconstruct the ...

  Abstract: Political books often come to encapsulate an era’s political consciousness and thus can come to symbolize a movement’s wave of protest. Friedan’s Feminine Mystique and de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe are examples of such books. While these books may be reviewed harshly by traditional literary critics or collect dust on activists’ shelves, they contribute to the transmission of progressive ideas and can be picked up again by contemporary activists wanting to resuscitate such ideas.This is the case for the Québec feminist novel L’Euguélionne. Published in 1976, L’Euguélionne is the debut novel of Lucille Durand, more commonly known under her pen name, Louky Bersianik. Because of its parody of Catholic texts as well ... Read More

  Abstract: Knowledge is not a point of arrival. It is a point of departure—a point of departure for more learning. Popular education does not try to standardize consciousness or thinking, which we see as an important approach to abandon. It is not the classical partisan political training that so many receive. Knowledge is intended to provide critical tools, and we engage conceptual frameworks as tools to enable a reading of the present that can shed light on past experiences that can point to the future (Ardón 2021).We are two women thinking about knowledge, learning, and movements—relationships that sit at the intersection of our work at Just Associates (JASS).1 In this conversation are the echoes of the multiple knowledge ...

  Abstract: Joan Pinkvoss, the cofounder of Aunt Lute Books, isn’t really looking forward to this interview.1 She’s not keen on journalists, because too often they take stories and words out of context. But, as the 2019 recipient of the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Artist Legacy Award, which acknowledges the impact of an artistic leader who has served a San Francisco–based organization consistently for twenty-five years or more, she said yes to my request. I was on assignment for a local magazine, and Pinkvoss knew the free media attention would be good for Aunt Lute Books, the small press she cofounded with Barb Wieser in Iowa City in 1982. Aunt Lute Books, which publishes on average three or four books per year, defines ... Read More

  Abstract: There are a few undeniable realities regarding sex work in North America that undergird any consideration—academic, political, cultural—thereof. Sex work comprises a variety of trades, of which prostitution, generally thought of as in-person, indoor or outdoor, full-service, single-contract sexual labor, constitutes a small percentage.1 Sex work is highly sex-gendered work,2 statistically dominated by Assigned Female At Birth (AFAB) cis women, but with an overrepresentation of transgender and gender-non-conforming people, as well as a not insignificant portion of cis men. Many trades under the umbrella of sex work are highly criminalized in North America, and thus the most marginalized sex workers are subject to a ... Read More

  Abstract: I had been calling on Florence Howe at least once a year each time I was in New York visiting my son and our friends. We met often at her West End condo, lunched in her favorite restaurant a few streets away, and talked about books. Still, I was astonished when she asked me to blurb her forthcoming memoir, A Life in Motion;1 she was a star in the publishing firmament, and I felt inadequate. Of course, I said yes, and I read the preprint copy closely with fascination, gulping down huge histories of U.S. and international feminist activism in which Florence was a preeminent actor and also held a stage-front seat to the broad spectrum of civil rights movements from the early 1960s to the early twenty-first century ...

  Abstract: In 1976 Barbara Smith published an article in Women’s Studies Newsletter (which became Women’s Studies Quarterly, hereafter WSQ), which challenged Black studies and women’s studies to engage Black women authors and provided WSQ’s readership with a bibliography of scholarship on Black women. In the Black Lesbian Writers section, which named Audre Lorde, Pat Parker, and Ann Allen Shockley, Smith writes, “The experience of women-identified black women is almost totally unavailable in fiction and poetry as well as in the social sciences” (1976, 5).With the publication of the 1979 special issue of the feminist magazine Conditions, Barbara Smith and coeditor Lorraine Bethel sought to address these concerns.

  Abstract: In the fifty years since Women’s Studies Quarterly began publication in 1972, the academic field for which it envisioned itself as a clearinghouse has undergone tremendous growth in the United States and around the world. At present, in addition to cross-border consortia and many collaborative, multi-institutional projects, there are at least nine hundred degree programs and research centers located in more than seventy countries (Korenman n.d.). Despite this global proliferation and the significant impact of transnational feminist thought, histories of women’s studies at colleges and universities have largely limited their focus to North America, Western Europe, and Australia.1 As one remedy, scholars such as ...

I scrapped an earlier draft of this piece and shifted my focus. So, what does this landmark decision mean for feminist political struggle' For the field of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies (WGSS)'The overturning of Roe has implications for a whole host of issues regarding privacy, sexuality, and protection of individual rights, in addition to reproductive justice.

  Abstract: It is the time of anniversaries. WSQ celebrates its fiftieth anniversary at the same time that Signs and Feminist Studies—two other landmark journals in the field of gender and sexuality studies—prepare their anniversary issues. Academic feminism has moved to a period of commemoration, retrospection, and celebration. Feminist commemoration is often fraught, filled with celebrations of and anxieties about all that the institutionalization of academic feminism has achieved. If the stories we tell—to channel Clare Hemmings—often center on our field’s precarity, the existence and durability of a slew of feminist journals, including WSQ, is evidence of the labor of generations of feminist scholars. Those scholars worked ... Read More

  Abstract: One of the calling cards of WSQ is the way it creates rich conversations within subfields of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Through its special issue format, WSQ gives us a window into intra- and interdisciplinary thinking and makes reading each issue an event in the field, a recalibration, and often a turning point in established ways of thinking and doing feminist work. And it is this focus on feminist work that spurred me to stage a conversation between two scholars whose essays appear in WSQ’s archive and who think about the politics of feminist labor across generations, spheres, and critical landscapes. Kathi Weeks is the author of many articles and books on feminist theory, including 2011’s The ... Read More

  Abstract: We intentionally begin this celebratory issue with Shirley Geok-lin Lim’s 2011 interview with the late Florence Howe, founder of the Feminist Press. In “A Woman’s Work: Editing and Narrating Memoirs at the Feminist Press” Lim captures then eighty-year-old Howe’s insights about writing her memoir and finally telling her own story after a career of encouraging other women to tell their stories. Howe’s reflections provide a context for understanding fifty years of feminist publishing, while also creating a window into Howe’s sense of self as someone who never thought of herself as a “writing writer” and did not see “any other way to live meaningfully than to do work that touches people’s lives in a meaningful way.”In ...

We want to celebrate how far women’s studies (WS) in the United States has come and reflect on the challenges that we have (yet to) overcome.1 We thus offer a snapshot of the history of WS, one that establishes it as an interdisciplinary field alongside Black studies and ethnic studies programs specifically. We construct this history by consulting published materials and by interviewing three professors in WS (now women, gender, and sexuality studies—WGSS) at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, who were there during the formation of the WS PhD program.

  Abstract: Academic writing relies on citation; appropriately crediting the source of information distinguishes legitimate scholarship from plagiarism. By definition, a cited work enters into the discourse of a discipline; an uncited work is excluded from that discourse. In this way, citation itself defines the boundaries of knowledge. Questions of whose work is included within these citation boundaries have been explored across disciplines (for example, see Baskaran 2021; Bolles 2013; Kumar and Karusala 2021; Mott and Cockayne 2017; Nakassis 2013). Novice researchers are socialized into a system of recognizing what counts as academic knowledge and what is excluded from that domain (Burgess, Cormack, and Reid 2021, 59; see ... Read More

  Abstract: Building on the insights of feminist, queer, postcolonial, science and technology, and religion studies, Holy Science deconstructs the binary between science and religion to reveal their entangled formations and uneven effects—the consequences of colonial legacies that privilege science over religion as a universally objective mode of knowledge production. In present-day postcolonial India, Hindu nationalism takes shape through the rhetoric of science to consolidate and integrate India’s past with its future destiny. The five case studies and chapters that make up the book present thick descriptions delineating how the rhetoric of science and religion come together to both clarify and amplify the hindutva of Hindu ...
