I have written several pieces for Women’s Press in the past. Do you still publish unsung heroines? I have someone I would like to write about.
Hello Jennifer,
Please, by all means continue to send your articles, I enjoyed them in the past, when I was just a reader.
Now that I am the editor, I can create a page just for the
“Unsung Heroines”.

Dear Friends,
I am a 1980 graduate of Wilson College, a small liberal arts college for women in Chambersburg, PA. In January of this year, despite great opposition and little data to support the decision, the Board of Trustees voted to make the College co-ed. Alumnae and friends of the College are urging the Trustees to reconsider their vote. We have a change.org petition (http://www.change.org/petitions/keep-wilson-college-a-women-s-college-reverse-the-co-ed-decision-now), a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/414378305317780/), and a website (http://pinesandmaples.com/), along with supporters all over the world.
In the scheme of all the things you address on this website, I know that a small women’s college in Pennsylvania isn’t much. But women’s colleges in this country are disappearing a rapid rate. These are amazing places where women find their voices, their courage, and their spiritual sisters. Wilson College is also one of only a handful of colleges in the country where single mothers with children live on campus with their kids and attend classes.
I am wondering whether you would be interested in a short piece about the College and our efforts to keep it a women’s college. Please let me know, and thank you for everything you do!
