- The Madelyn Gutwirth Prize
- The Madelyn Gutwirth Endowment in Women's Studies was established to honor one of
the founding members of the Women's Studies Program at West Chester University. Madelyn
Gutwirth initiated our first women's studies course in 1971. Coordinating the program
until 1978, she remained the intellect and heart behind its developing curricula until
her retirement in 1991. We now have a B.A. in Women's and Gender Studies, and the
Women's and Gender Studies Department includes faculty and courses from 12 different
departments. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Gutwirth's unflagging
efforts not only as an instigator, but as a feminist scholar. Dr. Gutwirth's major
works Madame de Stael: novelist: The Emergence of the Artist as Woman (Urbana: University
of Illinois Press, 1978), and The Twilight of the Goddess: Women and Representation
in the French Revolution Era (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 1992), rise
to the highest standards of research, analysis, and interpretation. The Society for
Eighteenth century studies recently devoted a plenary session to the impact of her
work on feminist studies. Women's and Gender Studies established the Madelyn Gutwirth
Endowment to acknowledge Madelyn's role in the department and to continue her contributions
by making it possible permanently to underwrite scholarships for students, provide
additional programming, enable the presence of guest scholars, and support faculty
research.
