Civil rights, feminist movements
should unite forces professors
By Diane Andersen
The feminist and civil rights movements should be
linked if all people are to achieve freedom, according to
Hortense Spillers, associate professor of English and Moira
Ferguson, chair of UNL's Women's Studies Program.
They spoke Wednesday on women's literature and
women's studies in the last program this semester for the
WomenSpeak series sponsored by the Student Y.
Ferguson said people interested in "human liberation"
should not work for single issues, but be united in
supporting other groups of oppressed people.
"We will never be freed as women until other oppress-

ed peoples are freed," she said.
Ferguson said UNL's women's studies program started
in 1976 and would not have been possible without
previous struggles for woman's suffrage, protests against
the Vietnam. War, gay liberation and the civil rights
struggle.
Ferguson gave a history of the women's liberation
movement, starting with women as underground politi
cal writers in the 1600s. She said women's polemics, or
writings against the oppression of their sex, has not been
recognized as what it is -a literary category. The goals of
women writers since the 1600s haven't changed, she said,
citing such women as Mary Wollstonecraft and Betty
Friedan as polemical writers.
Ferguson said women's studies programs have "mush
roomed" in the 1970s. There were two such programs in
1970 on college campuses and 15 such programs by 1971 .
She called women's studies the "academic arm of the
women's movement.
"Students know their ignorance about blacks in
Mississippi and yellow people in Vietnam," Ferguson said
and therefore have become interested in women's studies.
Ferguson said she is indebted to the UNL Women's
Resource Center and the Student Y for their "contri
butions to the women's movement." She said such UNL
issues as the controversy over the donation of the
Krugerrands to the NU Foundation concerns both women
and men who are concerned with "human liberation."
Spillers said there is a scarcity of black American
women authors.
"When a black woman writes, she is giving us a trace of
consciousness" about the history and feelings of black
women, she said.
Black women are used to existing for someone else,
such as a husband, out of economic necessity, Spillers'
said. By writing, black women are "testing themselves
against the pulse of the nerves of history," she said.
Spillers said she planned to offer a summer course on
black American women authors, but that it was canceled
because not enough people signed up. She mentioned
Margaret Walker's Jubilee and Toni Morrison's Sula as
books showing the development of black women's
writing.
Spillers said the black movement is more and more
going to be split along sexual lines," because black women
are starting to be more vocal about resentment they feel
at not being trusted with leadership positions.
She said it is not detrimental to the black movement
for black women to be recognized as individuals who have
a voice.
