Celebrating Forty Years: Anniversary Event to Showcase Feminist Research, Teaching, and Activism

by Jenée Wilde, PhD candidate, UO Department of English (Folklore)

1973—More than thirty University Feminists loudly take over the steps of Johnson Hall to demand services for women on campus. The Oregon State Board of Higher Education signs off on the state’s first women’s studies program at University of Oregon. A librarian searches out the papers of early feminist Jane C. Grant for UO Library’s Special Collections. And a small core of faculty creates the Center for the Sociological Study of Women (CSSW) to support feminist research on campus.
