مصادر المعلومات
  • Lauter, P. The conspiracy of the young, 1970.
  • Washington post WWW site, viewed Sept. 18, 2020(in obituary dated Sept. 14, 2020: Florence Howe, an author, editor, publisher and literary scholar who nurtured the newly created field of women's studies as a founder of the Feminist Press, a nonprofit publishing house that has amplified the work of feminist writers for half a century, died Sept. 12 in Manhattan. She was 91. She launched the Feminist Press in 1970. Ms. Howe was born Florence Rosenfeld in Brooklyn on March 17, 1929. She received a master's degree from Smith College and studied for a PhD at the University of Wisconsin before dropping out. She married several times, including to Edmund Stanley Howe. By the early 1980s, Ms. Howe had become something of an international spokesperson for women's studies, lecturing on the field at conferences around the world. She championed the discipline while serving as president of the Modern Language Association, published the academic journal Women's Studies Quarterly and argued that the field raised awareness about sexism and compensated for the relative lack of women in the curriculum. Ms. Howe participated in editorial meetings at the Feminist Press well into her 80s, and took the publishing house with her after joining the faculty of the State University of New York at Old Westbury and later the City University of New York, where she taught until retiring in the early 2000s.)
