"People were really into what we were doing then," she says. "There was a real void in the market." She calls her customer a "metro-naturalist: someone who is artistic and urban, self-expressive and makes choices out of the norm...

Moreover, since the women’s center will effectively displace student organizations that currently use Canaday Hall’s basement, Harvard cannot afford to leave a void in student space. All student groups—regardless of the sex of their members—should have access to the resources of the center. The center should be a place that welcomes all of Harvard. Although by its very nature a women’s center caters more specifically to the needs of the female student body, the center’s tone should not alienate...
