Over the past month, the Radcliffe Union of Students (RUS) has revived a 30-year-old campaign to establish a women’s center at Harvard, and specifically at Hilles Library, which is currently awaiting drastic renovations. Our commitment to this project is largely fueled by pride in the almost-forgotten history of women at Harvard—and the now-complete loss of what was once the Radcliffe Quad as women’s space...
...recent RUS meeting, one student joked, “Yale and Princeton may each have one women’s center, but Harvard has 24!” This remark accurately reflects the lengths to which students must go in order to acquire information about women’s resources, but that problem could be easily remedied.

A quick perusal of campus groups’ websites suggests that while the organizations cater to different subgroups, they share the same ultimate concerns. For the more assertive feminists among us, there’s RUS which is “focused on women’s issues on campus” and “seek(s) to strengthen women’s community and to improve women’s experience.” With an almost identical vision, the more membership-exclusive Seneca...
