Abstract
Description
Excerpt from Foreward: "education of women. Nowa diverse educational community that attracts women
and men from the East Coast region, across Canada, and around the globe, the
Mount still considers the educational needs of women to be paramount.
In celebrating our anniversary we wanted to bring special focus to
issues of particular importance to women. One of the "jewels in the crownll of
Qur commitment to advancing women's education and the study of women's
issues and perspectives is Nancy's Chair in Women's Studies, whose history is
related in the Introduction of this volume. We have been blessed over the past
several years to have a succession of distinguished women's scholars on campus
as the holders of Nancy's Chair. W'hat better way to celebrate our anniversary
than to invite each of them back to deliver an anniversary lecture? We were not
disappointed! It was a fabulous experience to have all of these women return to
the Mount and share with us their thoughtful insights on women's scholarship
today."
