Paraphrased from the July 1, 1992 issue of "The Chronicle
of Higher Education."
"Women's-Studies Group, Hoping to Heal Wounds, Finds
More Conflict"
"This year's annual meeting of the National Women's Studies
Association was supposed to heal fractures that crippled the
organization...
"Within half an hour of the opening of the conference ... the keynote
speaker had offended lesbian women by making what were described as
heterosexist remarks. Other women complained that a white women
should not have been selected to start [the] conference..."
Then meeting organizers apologized "to Jewish conferees who had been
inconvenienced by the Friday-night session...
"Later that evening, some 'eco-feminists' ... complained that every
meal served at the conference included meat.
"Finally, one conferee complained that participants should be asked
to forgo hair spray and perfume, which allergy sufferers might find
irritating."
Said Ms. Wilma Boddie-Beaman of NWSA's steering committee "'If I had
my wish, we would stop comapring ourselves to other organizations.
We're different.'"
