{"title":"Then and Now: Recognition of Women Artists Since 1970","authors":"Joan M.

Actually, the women's movement had only recently reached the art world. The National Organization for Women had formed seven years earlier, and in August 1970, thousands of women had marched in cities across the United States to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment that guaranteed women's suffrage. Feminists demanded passage of an Equal Rights Amendment-a constitutional amendment which has yet to find sufficient support in this country. By the early seventies, many women artists had become activists, and challenged commercial galleries and museums to give women equitable representation. Feminists also determined that the art historical canon should include great women artists, and the study of art came to involve new issues, new interpretations, and new voices. As the women's movement flourished, feminists protested museum exhibitions that included only token numbers of women. Organizations such as Women Artists in Revolution (WR) and the Ad Hoc Committee of the Art Workers Coalition wrote letters of protest and demonstrated at the Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art. Curators at the Whitney, for example, generally chose fewer than 10 percent women for the Whitney Annual. Few if any shows were devoted to women's work. In addition, women artists were seldom written about in art magazines, and found little interest in their art by commercial dealers (although many dealers were women, they preferred male artists). Group exhibitions of contemporary art in major museums largely ignored the achievement of women. Although the pressure exerted by women's organizations resulted in a few solo exhibitions for women artists of historical importance, contemporary women artists remained barely visible. Several art organizations and gal-","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129879532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Works work when they inform vision; inform not by supplying information but by forming or reforming or transforming vision; vision not as confined to ocular perception but as understanding in general. . . . Works work by interacting with all our experience and all our cognitive processes in the continuing advancement of our understanding.-Nelson Goodman 1. I. Every thoughtful experience of information contributes to the construction of identity. We are formed by the structures and processes that inform us; gradually, we create ourselves as we resolve our unknowns. Among all possible information structures and processes, those of the library are special. In our culture, the library is a humanizing instrument. It contains expansive tools, requires reflective thinking, depends on communication, and conducts the learner toward inspired transformations of mind. The more informed and powerful we become, the more we require both passion and imagination to shape our future. When we encounter works of art amid works of information in the library, it is possible to see how they contribute mutually to the construction of a questioning, responsive life-how they contribute, in Nelson Goodmans words, to the making and remaking of our worlds.","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126335081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dana Women Artists Series for Douglass College and the university community. The 20th anniversary of the Women Artists Series coincides with two other celebrations on campus during the coming academic yearDouglass College will mark the 75th anniversary of its founding and Rutgers College will host a series of events in honor of its 20th year of coeducation. It is also a particularly relevant time for me to reflect on my experiences at the University-as a graduate of Douglass and the Rutgers Graduate School; and since 1976, as a member of the Rutgers faculty-especially as they mirror the rationale, development, and success of the Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series. These personal reminiscences acknowledge the political atmosphere on campus and attest to what Bernice Sandler, former Executive Director of The Project on the Status and Education of Women of the Association of American Colleges, has named \"the chilly climate\" on campus for women. I felt it, as well, as especially chilly for women in the visual arts. In the late 1960s, the mood at Douglass College was fairly typical of that found on any U.S. college campus. Students and faculty were caught up in the debate over our governments involvement in Vietnam, civil rights issues, and the second feminist wave. I remember quite vividly students capturing Old Queens, shutting down the University and eventually causing final exams to be disrupted. I remember going to a classroom, only to move to a new location because of the latest bomb threat to the building. (These reached epidemic proportions around the time of hourlies.) But most of all, I remember the debates at Douglass about co-education in response to the 1969 Rutgers College decision to admit women.","PeriodicalId":247763,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123065995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The staff of the Information Division continued to collect, index and abstract the international alcohol literature; the abstracted results were added to the C A A A L , and each issue of the Quarterly Journal featured a section of selected abstracts as a current awareness service for its readers. The Information Division was also able to provide tailored subject bibliographies to its clientele, using the C A A A L as a finding aid.4 Mark Keller, Managing Editor and then Editor of the Quarterly Journal! Journal of Studies on Alcohol from 1950 through 1976, oversaw the continuous process of identifying, processing and disseminating alcohol studies information. In 1972 he outlined a model of a special library using the Library-Documentation-Information-Publication Division of the Center of Alcohol Studies as his example. Here, . . the specialist documentalists or information scientists . . . process'the literature,' convert it into the classified informational bits, and, on request from anywhere, provide very specific answers to most specific questions, mostly in the form of bibliographies and photocopies of abstracts.\"5 Yet there was not a distinctly separate library at Yale until some time in 1958, and that library did not absorb the information responsibilities of Keller's multifaceted Information Division until well after the Section, now known as the Center of Alcohol Studies, moved to Rutgers University in 1962. 2 Page, Penny B. \"The origins of alcohol studies: E.
