Autorenporträt

Gloria Bowles is the founding coordinator of UC Berkeley women's studies, which was formed in the mid 1970s after she and other women in the graduate program in Comparative Literature at Berkeley realized there were no women on the voluminous reading lists for their Ph.D. exams in the mid 1970s. She and Renate Klein, then a student, edited Theories, essays on how to form programs and do feminist research. Dr Renate Klein is a Swiss-Australian biologist and social scientist who has been a feminist women's health activist since the early 1980s. She was Associate Professor of Women's Studies at Deakin University, Melbourne until 2006. She is the (co) editor/(co) author of 19 books, among them Theories of Women's Studies, Test-Tube Women, Infertility, Radically Speaking and Surrogacy: A Human Rights Violation. Since 1991, she is also Director and Publisher at Spinifex Press.
