Scope and content
The WomanNews newsletter was a resource created for students of Trenton State College and published by The Office for Women. It detailed local events on and off campus, celebrated notable figures in the local community for recent accomplishments, and provided other pertinent information for female students. This 1981 edition of the newsletter was 3 pages long and its In My Opinion section was written by Dorothy Minkoff, the coordinator of the Communication Skills Lab at the college. She wrote about literacy rates and how most adults do not perfect their reading skills beyond the fifth grade, which could be a roadblock for college students whose assignments heavily rely on critical reading skills. She also highlighted a new opportunity: an accelerated reading program developed by the Communications Skills Lab of the Center for Personal and Academic Development.
Contributors to the newsletter were:
Susan Karr (Editor) and
Dorothy Minkoff.
