Introducing...
WOMEN'S EDUCATION DES FEMMES

Tight budgets, volunteer enthusiasm, collective planning that's how many women's publications come to see the light of day. WOMEN'S EDUCATION DES FEMMES is no exception. We've known for a long time that a substantial forum for dialogue on women and learning was needed. With a little help from our talented membership across the country, we think that WOMEN'S EDUCATION DES FEMMES could blossom into a lively, readable resource for all of us.

Take a few minutes to examine your copy. The thick stapled booklet you have in your hands now may not be the final format we settle on, but it's a step along the way. The bilingual intent of WOMEN'S EDUCATION DES FEMMES, though not fully executed in every article in this issue, is also a critical step in an important direction. Whether we are truly able to realize all of the ideas we have depends on your input, continuing volunteer commitment, and the inevitable funding question.

The contributors who invested time and energy into articles and reviews had absolutely no idea in advance how this issue would shape up. We thank Sema Aksoy, Beverly Currie, Terry Dance, Susan McCrae Vander Voet, and Michelle Vachon for submitting their work on faith. For those of us who carried through the editing and production steps of the first issue, collective skill sharing formed new bonds. With overall administrative coordination by CCLOW staff member Lori Belovich, design and illustrations by Nancy Meyer, proofreading assistance by Margaret Anderson and editing by Christa Van Daele, we welcome feedback, contributions and any nitty-gritty proofing and production skills you can bring to our committee. JOIN US FOR THE NEXT ISSUE!
