It is hard to believe that Ms. magazine is turning 40 this year and Women’s Studies became a program of study in 1970.
How far have we come since 1970? Looking at the headlines, it would be interesting to know what topics come up over and over and what headway has been made over time.
Ms. magazine and Stanford University are currently doing an essay contest using Ms. covers and wants you to submit a 150-word essay about one of the covers of the 40 they have chosen from 1972 to now.
The contest ends October 15, 2011.
There will be 10 winners who will receive $100 and their essay will be displayed alongside the Ms. covers on the Stanford campus in January 2012.
