Writing/Riding the Second Wave: The Story of the Women's Writer's Center, 1975-1982

Writing the Second Wave recalls how three young feminist
academics, responding to overt sexism at their universities in the early 1970s,
created an independent Women’s Writer’s Center in a conservative small town in
upstate NY. To their initial surprise, they were enthusiastically joined by nearly every known late-20th
century American woman writer, who came to teach as Visiting Faculty. All this was fortunately documented in over 100 rare images of the 20+ writers that capture the excitement and
promise of Second Wave feminism.
