WINGS

Found­ed in the US in 1970, the Fem­i­nist Press pub­lish­es neglect­ed mas­ter­pieces by women of many cul­tures, coun­tries and races, not only liv­ing women, but dead ones, too. In 1992, Howe gave this speech about the ori­gins and the mis­sion of the Press, how they found the authors they pub­lished, and how it sur­vived finan­cial­ly. The pro­gram includes an update to 2020.

Fea­tured Speak­er: In 1964, Flo­rence Howe, taught Eng­lish at Gouch­er Col­lege, a pri­vate wom­en’s col­lege in Mary­land, taught black chil­dren in a Mis­sis­sip­pi Free­dom School, and chaired the Mod­ern Lan­guage Asso­ci­a­tion’s Com­mis­sion on the Sta­tus of Women. By 1970, she was found­ing the Fem­i­nist Press in col­lab­o­ra­tion with fem­i­nist writ­ers and his­to­ri­ans. She has now retired;the new Exec­u­tive Direc­tor is Jamia Wilson.
