Item Elizabeth Davis and the Library's Exhibit "Matriarchy: The Golden Age" (1974-11-12) Frazier, CindyItem Open Letter to Judith Wilson(1973-11-13) Frazier, Cindy"In your first paragraph you regret that the debate of "such matters as the relationship of art to society" has not been settled. You even imply that such a debate is anti-intellectual . This seems a shocking evaluation of both intellectualism and our times. At a moment in history when great literature is being produced by the members of society who have always been debased as anti-intellectual, ignorant, and uneducated (I mean authors such as Eldridge Cleaver, Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Gwendolyn Brooks) the relationship of art to society is under its most fascinating and important reevaluation in many years."Item Open Letter to the Drama Division (1973-11) Frazier, Cindy"The sexist, rapist (that's a p) and generally womenhating productions that are perpetrated by the Drama Division are dangerous as well as disgraceful. From Nova Funk to Measure for Measure women are cast in either the role of luscious victim, dumb whore or vile hypocrite. As a literature student currently studying Shakespeare I was shocked that Measure for Measure should be the play chosen for production. Shakespeare has written far greater, and funnier plays, and cast women in strong and intelligent roles to boot. "The Dutchman" is another of these dramas-with-incentive-to-rape, But it's got a new twist: cast the white woman as the violent racist (that's a c), and you've got the perfect victim; that is, she deserves what she gets."
