Women's group A lot of people here think EMC is someone else's school. They expect their college to offer certain social, spiritual, or intellectual advan- tages. Sometimes it doesn't. This year as much as any other, there was talk about not finding what is needed, about just leaving the place. But for some there was a change. A few peo- ple sensed that they were not at EMC, they were EMC. They tried to mold the school to them- selves, to leave their own impress, to help the place make room for them. This fall two sponta- neous groups formed and were able to sustain student interest throughout the school terms. The women's group began with sharing litera- ture from the women's movement and ended with discussions on how to become a person in one's own right, to help other men and women to develop and grow free of stereotyped sex roles. We women need to come together to raise our awareness of how we think of our- selves. To do that we have to talk about the artificial ways we relate to men, how we com- pete with each other in our appearances, and trap men into unemotional he-man roles and ourselves into dependent, passive roles. But more important than words exchanged was the feeling of solidarity and oneness the group experienced. Said one member, I think of the others as sisters now. It was amazing to find that each of us felt she had not been ex- pected to be her own person. We were all taught to find ourselves through the man we would marry instead of becoming individual adults first. The girls had no illusions about the obstacles they will face in larger society, especially job discrimination. I don't want to become bitter, one girl agonized, but I know if I enter certain professions I'm only going to become frustrated because women simply aren't hired, paid, or promoted on the same basis as men. All seemed to sense that their struggle will not be easy. As one girl put it, We have so few models of truly wholesome, equal relationships between men and women. It's almost like starting from scratch. 14
