Minerva Society for the Study of Women and War (MSSWW)
The MINERVA Center, Inc. proudly announces the formation of its long
awaited Minerva Society for the Study of Women and War (MSSWW). The
Society will encourage and support scholarly activities related to
women's military studies.
MSSWW will bring together Minerva's many friends and supporters in a
formal organization that can make efficient use of mutual resources.
When MINERVA first began publishing its journal, almost all of
subscribers were either active duty women or women veterans. Today most
of MINERVA's constituency is civilian and academic. And so the Minerva
Society for the Study of Women and War (MSSWW) is organizing a
professional membership organization with the Minerva Journal of Women
and War as its official publication . All members of MSSWW will receive
a subscription to the journal as part of their dues, which will be
structured on a sliding scale to accommodate various categories of
membership, including Active/Retired Military and Students/Cadets.
This year we are inviting our supporters to renew their membership and
help us recruit new members to strengthen our organization. Donations
of any amount from benefactors are also invited and welcome. Members
who join us now will assure that sufficient funds accumulate to sustain
the organization in these early times of formation and provide some
financial support for our embryonic part-time staff. There will be an
election of officers once we reach a critical number of 100 members and
the membership will determine the nature of activities to be undertaken
by MSSWW.
The Minerva Center's Consulting Director for Institutional Development,
Hank Preiser, has consented to assume the duties of Acting Executive
Director of the Society until such time that funds become available to
hire a full-time person for the position.
