Network/WSW
Networking on a regional, national, and even international level is a growing movement to promote community. Everyone networks in the different spheres of her life. Friendships and contacts expand and contract, fulfilling needs and growing as our lives change. An intentional Network complements our everyday personal exchange and adds a new dimension of decreased randomness and increased openness. This strictly person-to-person venture facilitates cooperation and generates questions, answers, ideas, and dreams in a circular, greater return fashion. Each member of a Network is a "weaver" whose designs are interwoven by choice and increase resource access.
Unlike traditional organizations, an open network need not endorse any one particular ideology, and expresses non-competitive non-hierarchical action. The decision-making arena of the locker room and the business fraternity is private turf. Rather than imitate these institutions, we need to resist the pressure to exclude and compartmentalize, networking is a promising alternative to the "men's room" for women to bond and share information.
WSW/Network is a grassroots linkage of the

women's community in Ohio. You can participate in the Network by sending us a short summary (no more than 100 words) identifying your explorations, talents, abilities-anything you would like to share about yourself. At periodic intervals WSW will print these entries-with first names only-to make the Network visible and encourage others to participate. In addition to or instead of a short passage, you can enter as many as 500 words about yourself into the Network. Unlike the short passage, this will not be published, but will be accessible to other Network members by mail. Names, addresses, telephone numbers and passages of networkers are circulated only within the Network. The option of printing the shorter version will be up to each individual.
All are welcome to enrich the array of resources and possibilities. Send your name, address, telephone number, passage and $1.00 to Network/WSW, P.O. Box 18465, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118. Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope and indicate whether or not you would like your shorter version printed. As a part of the Network, it will be up to you to initiate further connections and to respond to cooperators who are interested in you.

Clio's Musings
By Paula A. Copestick
Harriet Tubman, the Moses of her people, died in Auburn, New York, on March 10, 1913. Years earlier, Ms. Tubman escaped from slavery in Maryland to freedom in Pennsylvania. Not one to settle for gaining only her own freedom, she was personally responsible for freeing three hundred slaves by accompanying them on nineteen trips over a tenyear period. The South offered a $40,000 reward for her capture.
During the Civil War, Tubman became an unofficial spy and scout for the Union Army. After nursing Union soldiers during the day, she baked pies at night to support herself. In later years, she continued to work in, Auburn, married Nelson Davis in 1864, and lived off their work and 'contributions from others.
When she reached 80, the U.S. Congress granted Tubman a $20 per month pension. Instead of using the money for herself, she gave away every cent to help unfortunate people. Her home became a hospital. A year after her death, people in Auburn celebrated the legacy of Harriet Tubman.
In March of 1638, Anne Hutchinson was placed on trial before the clergy and church membership of Boston for preaching Joseph Cotton's ideas of intuitional awareness. She spread her widely-interpreted and expanded versions of them by nursing many

Boston women. The Hutchinson faction grew to be a threat to the established clergy, especially when the men refused to join the military expedition against the Pequot Indians on religious grounds. The clergy accused her of lying and formally excommunicated her. She left Massachusetts to rejoin her husband and friends in Narragansett Bay, where she had an aborted menopausal pregnancy. The news of a "monstrous birth" reached the Puritan clergy who solemnly pronounced that this event provided coǹclusive evidence of justice.
After William Hutchinson, a clothing merchant, died in 1642, Anne moved to New Netherland with the six youngest of their twelve children.
Hutchinson's biographer concludes that her efforts, along with those of other sectarians who sought religious freedom, promoted religious heterogeneity within the American colonies-a situation which laid the groundwork for establishing the principles of the First Amendment.
