Alison E. Fisher '02, president of the Seneca, says she hopes the guide makes good on its potential to be a resource for students.

"I hope that it gives students a better idea of women's history here, that I think often goes unnoticed," Fisher says. "Hopefully it'll highlight all of the women's organizations on campus that often are overlooked."

Bradley J. Olson '03, manager of Unofficial Publications, which publishes the Unofficial Guide, says his organization looks forward to seeing a new publication on campus.

"We welcome the addition of the Women's Guide to Harvard and hope it serves as a valuable resource for women in the Harvard community," Olson writes in an e-mail.

After Heller and Lim graduate in June, the remaining staff of more than 60 will decide whether to continue publishing new editions of the guide.

Ultimately, Heller says she hopes the guide raises awareness about women's issues at Harvard.

"It's a resource for both men and women to use," she says. "We talked to a huge number of people-professors, students, alums, leaders of extracurricular groups, we spent hours going through old articles and hunting things down in Schlesinger Library...It's a year of research and work that I hope people read."
