This conference will address the world of print that women have inherited, constructed, and consumed over the last 125 years. Barbara Sicherman, Kenan Professor of American Institutes and Values at Trinity College, will deliver the keynote address. A number of additional special presentations are also planned. Papers will focus on and illuminate the interaction between the reader and printed materials aimed at or produced and read by women. Studies dealing with class, religion, journalism, feminism, immigrants, racial and sexual minorities, radicals, etc., are featured.
