• REFUGEE WOMEN (Spring 1989)

This will not be a patronizing reinterpretation of the refugee woman's experience by North-Americans, but rather a forum for her own voice - her experiences, her concerns. REFUGEE WOMEN is a community-based project emanating from the refugee community. All our guest editors are either refugees or involved in the refugee community. Editors include: Eva Allmen, Helene Moussa, Isabel Caprellan, Olga Cass and Haragua Getu. Articles will look at the difference between the refugee and immigrant woman's experience; the difficulties connected to assimilation versus integration into the host country; the problems of cultural survival, isolation, and trying to have one's professional status recognized. There will be personal accounts, articles by individuals involved with relevant government agencies or community groups, a detailed reference section of resource material, poetry, fiction, art and book reviews.

• NATIVE WOMEN (Summer 1989)

A special issue on Aboriginal women in Canada, with a guest editorial board comprised of Native women. Articles in this issue will reflect the reality of Native women's experience, recounted in their own words/ voices. Photographs, fiction and poetry by Native Women will also be featured. Subjects to be covered include Native culture and tradition; arts and crafts (including music and quilt-making); projects aimed at the renewal of Native languages; retraining programs for Native women; questions of self-government and aboriginal rights; the importance of mothers and grandmothers. A book review section devoted entirely to publications by and/or about Native women will also be included. The range of contributions will extend from the east coast to the north to the west coast.

• WOMEN ARTISTS (Fall 1989)

This issue will be devoted to the experience of contemporary Canadian women artists and a rich representation of their work. It will explore the impact that feminism is having on their work and lives. Women's practice as art makers, art educators, curators and critics is the focus around which questions of aesthetic concern will arise. The issue will offer a significant overview of the situation of women working in the visual arts, as well as demonstrate through text and visual reproductions the strong, diverse nature of women's productivity. Particular attention is being paid to material from minority group women, such as women of colour, disabled women, lesbians, working class women, Native and immigrant women. Our Guest Editors Janice Andreae and Marilyn Burgess are both graduates of the Fine Arts Program at York University; both are practicing, exhibited artists with a strong commitment to feminism. Janice is based in Toronto, where she teaches Art in the Women's Studies Program at York University. Marilyn, a francophone, lives in Montreal, where she is actively involved in the art community.
