16 A Celebration of Women Women have been referred to as the iisecond sex? The connotation is a negative one placing them below men; not properly alongside them. The iiNew Womanii is well aware of her capac- ity to succeed on equal terms with men. Stereo- types have been cast away, allowing women greater freedom and flexibility in a male ori- ented and dominated society. The inaugural week entitled iiA Celebration of Womenb was mentally and spiritually up- lifting and invigorating. Diversified types of women passed swiftly through our lives provid- ing inspiration of lasting duration. Future plans were illuminated with bright rays of hope given off by the speakers and President Dorsey. Thoughts flamed into actions. Anne Sexton, poetess, touched us emotion- ally and made us introspective and pensive. Sa- rah Tilghman Hughes, United States District Judge from Texas, and Sarah Weddington of the Texas legislature, proved that government positions are not solely reserved for men. It is true that a womanis place is in iiThe House? Jacquelyn Anderson Mattfeld, dean of faculty and academic affairs at Brown University, was but one example of women in the adminis- trative realm.

Its effects are long in lingering-forceful in impact. Michelle S. Babbitt
