Minerva Society for
the Study of Women and War (MSSWW)

The MINERVA Center, Inc. proudly announces the formation of its long
awaited Minerva Society for the Study of Women and War (MSSWW). The
Society will encourage and support scholarly activities related
to women's military studies.

MSSWW will bring together Minerva's many friends and supporters in a
formal organization that can make efficient use of mutual resources. When
MINERVA first began publishing its journal, almost all of subscribers were
either active duty women or women veterans. Today most of MINERVA's
constituency is civilian and academic. And so the Minerva Society for the
Study of Women and War (MSSWW) will organize as a professional
membership organization with Minerva: Women and War as its official organ.
All members of MSSWW will receive a subscription to the journal as part
of their dues, which will be structured on a sliding scale to accommodate
various categories of membership, including Active/Retired Military and
Students/Cadets, to be announced later.

During the year 2006, we are inviting our supporters to become Founding
Members through tax-exempt donations of $100 or more. Donations of any
amount from benefactors are invited and welcome. Members who join us now
will assure that sufficient funds accumulate to sustain the organization
in these early months and provide some financial support for our embryonic
part-time staff. There will be an election of officers once we reach a
critical number of 100 members and the membership will determine the nature of activities to be undertaken by MSSWW.


The Minerva Center's Consulting Director for Institutional
Development, Hank Preiser, has consented to assume the duties of Acting
Executive Director of the Society until such time that funds become
available to hire a full-time person for the position.
