University of Washington 179 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS For the past eighteen months, the Modern Language Association's Commission on the Status of Women has functioned as a clearinghouse for information on new curricular developments in feminist studies. In Decembet, 1970, the Commission published the first "Guide to Current Female Studies," a list of 110 courses, and Female Studies II, a collection of 66 syllabi and bibliographies. This volume replaces the "Guide" with a "New Guide" and includes additional curricular materials, as well as new information about Programs. Female Studies III could not have been published without the Modern Language Association's continued support of the Commission on the Status of Wbmen; nor without the cooperation of KNOW, Inc., a women's press, responsible (jointly with Sheila Tobias) for the idea of the series. We owe special thanks also to the Women's History Research Center, Inc. (2325 Oak Street, Berkeley, California 94708) for their assistance in providing us with information about women's studies especially on the west coast. The Women's History Research Center welcomes inquiries about its publications and services. The Center needs contributions (tax-deductible) so that its important work may continue. We wish to acknowledge also the assistance of research grant number RO-5085- 72-54 from the National Endowment for the Humanities: and the State University of New York/The College at Old Westbury for an office and accompanying services. Like its predecessors, Female Studies III could mt have happened without massive cooperation from more than six hundred people who have used our services as a clearinghouse on women's studies. We will continue to function as a clearing- house, at.least for the purpose of publishing additions or corrections to the New Guide (pp. 1-30). We welcome your comments and advice.We thank you for your generosity. 7 1 INTRODUCTION When Female Studies II was being put together in November, 1970, we had on hand 66 course outlines and bibliographies and several brief essays. We simply printed all the material we had, editing slightly to avoid repetition.
