Fall 2002, Issue #1 Welcome to the first edition of Women In Mind, representing women's voices from Southern Connecticut State University's Women's Studies graduate students and beyond. We are proud to present our first collection of women's writing and art, culled from students, staff, and guests. The purpose of Women In Mind is to build a creative space for women's voices to be heard and responded to, where readers, writers, and artists can come to learn, laugh, and feel, an arena for political debate, cultural exchange, and intellectual curiosity—always, of course, keeping women at the forefront.
