"Women and Texas History: A Conference" is a statewide confer-
ence on the history of women in Texas that has been scheduled for Oc-
tober 4-6, 1990, in Austin. Co-sponsored by the Texas State Historical
Association, the Texas Historical Commission, the Barker Texas His-
tory Center at the University of Texas at Austin, and Texas Woman's
University, the conference will be a forum to assess the field, discuss the
impact of recent scholarship, share information with others interested
in the history of women in Texas, generate a research agenda, and
create a network of scholars and lay researchers. Sessions will cover an
interdisciplinary array of topics related to women in Texas history, such
as race, ethnicity, gender, class, community building, the arts, region-
alism, myth, culture, teaching about women, and so on. The keynote
speaker is Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Eleonore Raoul Professor of the
Humanities, professor of history, and director of women's studies at
Emory University.
