The annual Wisconsin Women's Studies Conference will be held in at UW-Madison on October 27(th, mostly at the Pyle Center on campus.

The theme is "History in the Making: Celebrating 25 Years of Women's Studies Scholarship and Activism."

Plenaries will feature Prof. Emerita Gerda Lerner speaking on
"Women's Studies -- The Intellectual Revolution of the 20th Century" and a panel on "A Celebration of Intergenerational Mentoring and
'Mothering.' "

Among the 39 workshops are sessions on Hmong women, women and disabilities, history of women's rights, biculturalism in the lives of women and girls, diaries and oral histories, and reading groups as women's learning communities. Barbara Walden and Jill Rosenshield will be demonstrating library resources for women's history. Sue Searing and I are going to trace the evolution of those resources from a common question in the '70s and earlier: "Where are the Women?" to
"Women's Place is on the 'Net."
