- Summary:
-
The Women In Action Conference concerned involvement and dwelled on realistic and creative ways for women to participate in the life of our times. Antonia Chandler Hayes discusses the changed climate for white people, especially women, who are concerned about urban affairs, and yet are confronted with a disheartening lack of enthusiasm for their services. She examines the opportunities for the educated woman's contribution in: (1) educational/training programs; (2) poor white communities; and (3) predominantly white suburbs. Other illustrations of involvement considered were: (1) part-time employment of women by a government agency; (2) "ombudsmanship" through radio; and (3) library services taken to the inner city. Barbara Newell's talk, as well as the conference generally, analyzed changes in our society: the resultant situation for motivated women, and challenging possibilities for mobilizing human resources. Her emphasis is on increasing flexibility and the resulting opportunities on the University level. Rather than including the entire conference proceedings, as in the past, the booklet presents a limited format of speeches and panel discussions. (TL)
