Welcome to a New Year, the real beginning of the millennium! It is my pleasure to serve as your newsletter editor. Though women's history has hit the world-wide web, and many receive this newsletter as an e-mail attachment, access to the web marks one division between those with resources and those without. To bypass such inequalities, we distribute the newsletter in hard copy as well. Perhaps as devotees to the printed word, we also desire a written record of our activities. In any case, whether you communicate by e-mail, fax, or post, we want to hear about the work of women's historians and issues surrounding women's history in your country. I'd like your comments on the newsletter-what should be its function compared to the website? How can we best use both forms of communication? Please keep those reports from conferences, announcements, and news of accomplishments coming.
This issue was made possible through the technical efforts of Stephanie Taylor, a graduate student in creative writing at Columbia University and my former assistant at Iris: A Journal About Women. It comes to you just as I have moved from Virginia (and Iris) to the University of California, Santa Barbara, which accounts for a slight delay in sending this out. The deadline for the Summer issue is May 1, 2001.
