The guide includes the history of Radcliffe and women at Harvard, as well as academic, extracurricular and social experiences of women. It also examines issues like women's rate of tenure at the University, Heller says.

"While the book is content-heavy and meant to be read more as a newspaper or a magazine than a guide, we still do want it to be a guide in the sense that it has things that maybe aren't in the Unofficial Guide or are found in different places," Heller adds.

Redmond says she feels that Radcliffe's merger with Harvard, the rate of sexual assault on campus and the lack of tenured female Faculty members demonstrate the unequal position of women at Harvard.

"Women's voices and women's concerns just weren't being heard on the Harvard campus," Redmond says.

She teamed up with Lim, then co-chair of the WLP, to start work on the guide. The pair approached various women's groups on campus in an effort to raise funds.

Many female undergraduates say they are looking forward to seeing the guide in print.

"I want to see what they've learned about the experience of women at Harvard," says Lisa Vogt '01-'02, president of the Radcliffe Union of Students. (RUS).

Vogt says that the guide's potential to reward specific courses or concentrations for their positive attitude about women and the study of women is particularly exciting.
