WSW Announcement

Although both lesbian and heterosexual women identify with the values and goals of feminism, they often do not come together and share their impressions, feelings, and ideas. The November 1980 issue of WSW will be devoted to the dynamics of lesbian-heterosexual relationships as a way of promoting a more accurate sense of what helps and/or hinders women from relating and working together comfortably. Please submit thoughtful articles (500-1000 words) by October 15.
