a workshop offered through the extension program at the woman's building by visiting mime troup, and read a list prepared for you by a faculty member of the FSW who speicalzes in literature, and finally, take a writing course in the workshop. You would also no doublt find a way to integrate the information you were receivding in the workshop into your degree.

The training you will recieve at the workshop is much more i ntensive than a regular college: we will constantly focus on your personal life, how your relationslhips with each other, with us, etc effect the community you particiapte in forming, on your and our developming ideas about feminist education, art and theory. There are, in addition, some skill training courses, such as graphics, which will equip you to work. Most of the women work for a living; many do shit work, and since our constant goal is to help women create themselves as independent, vital artist, many women choose and move into a profession during a two or three year stay at the workshop.
I think it is important to remember that l0 the process of making yourself financially viable in the world particularly in some form of expressive art is not a short term process, and the workshop is designed as a two year process, and 2) a degree, particularly a BA does not [strikethrough glue strikethrough] guarantee anyone a job any more. However, I would encourage you to get a degree if it is financially possible for you, because at least you cannot be easily eliminated from job possiblities. And attending the workshop without getting a degree is definitely worthwhile; 3/4 of our women are doing just that.

Please write me directly, or the colleges listed, if you have any other qluestions.
