Women's studies remains a largely neglected field which needs much research. Women at WCU have done research and found their work personally rewarding. They are proud that they have contributed through their studies toward the liberation movement. In the field of psychology, Pat Williams' masters thesis is entitled "An Experimental Attempt to Alter Levels of Attitudes Toward Women and Androgyny by Use of a Multi-media Presentation on Sex-role Stereotypes." Her study is concerned with the effect that media has on sex-role stereotypic traits. She has discovered major differences in the reaction of males and females to media exposure. Dr. Judy Stillion, who has done research in the field of women's psychology, directed Pat's research. Cathy Elrod, a senior history major, is currently writing her thesis, entitled "Revolutionary War Brides." to show that women performed valuable military functions during that American Revolution; to show that camp followers were by and large not prostitutes but war brides who were products of social circumstances unique to the Revolution; to show that the term "camp followers" does not convey an accurate connotation of women who accompanied revolutionary armies; and to draw attention to the unsung heroines of our nation's war for independence. Elaine Armstrong, a graduate student in the history department, is working on her masters thesis. Elaine is going to focus on women's missionary societies in the Methodist and United Brethren Churches in the years 1875-1910. She is interested in why these societies organized separately from men's groups within the churches; whether this separation represented any latent feminism; and the effect of the women's movement in those years on these church women. This writer works in the field of history and has a masters thesis in progress entitled "The Status of Women in New Hanover County. 1750-1800." this is the area around the Cape Fear River and Wilmington, N.C. The topic is designed to assess change in the status of women before and after the revolution, and to discover what the effects of the revolution on women were, and to qualify these effects as beneficial, detrimental, or nonexistent. By studying social change in the past 1 hope to increase 'my understanding of how change can best be accomplished today. Dr. Alice Mathews is directing the women's study work in history.
