• , University of California Berkeley, 2000), has just completed her second year as a postdoctoral researcher at the Berkeley Center for Working Families. Her principal project at the California Studies Center will be to complete the manuscript of What Kind of City: Women, Charitable Landscapes, and Urban Building in California. This book examines the effects of women’s philanthropy and incremental land improvement on modernizing cities, using the under-studied city of Oakland as a case study example. Gutman argues that the reform-minded women, who built charitable institutions in late-nineteenth-century California cities, set up a potent armature for the expansion of urban public buildings and spaces during the twentieth century, even as the effects of inequality, ideology, power, and identity were written and rewritten into benevolent settings. The book is drawn from Gutman’s dissertation, "On the Ground in Oakland: Women and Institution Building in an Industrial City," awarded the "Best Dissertation in Urban History" prize by the Urban History Association (2001). ...

• Welcome to the Scripps College Website! This is an exciting year for the College as we celebrate our 75th year as the women's college of The Claremont Consortium. ...
• In 1926, Ellen Browning Scripps-a remarkable woman and farsighted philanthropist-decided to put her considerable energies and fortune to the founding of a college for women in Claremont, California. This institution would be the second college in Claremont and the beginning of a new venture in American higher education: The Claremont Plan, a multi-college and graduate consortium of contiguous, cooperating colleges. ...
• Scripps College was intended from the first to provide women with opportunities denied them at many other private institutions: to train them for working lives as well as private lives of challenge and fulfillment. Focused on the educational needs and ambitions of women, Scripps College has preserved its pioneering spirit and a tradition of innovation throughout its history. Young enough to have graduates of its earliest classes as vigorous supporters, venerable enough to have attained a reputation for excellence, Scripps College celebrates this anniversary year with a renewed commitment to academic excellence and active community participation. Scripps seeks faculty, staff, and students with the highest ambitions for women, a thirst for knowledge, and a commitment to a community marked by respect for the widest array of opinions and peoples.
• As a women's college, Scripps has adopted the goal to provide the best liberal arts education in the nation. We believe that women must be trained intellectually, socially, morally, and creatively to assume their full place in the increasingly global society of the 21st century. Scripps women will need to lead in many ways if we are to achieve all the possibilities we can envision for an ordered, just, creative, and productive society. ...

• History of the Clemency Movement in California .
• The California Constitution and statutes give the Governor the power to grant clemency when justice and mercy dictate that a prisoner should be forgiven or granted an early release. ...
• The clemency movement for battered women in prison in California began in March of 1991. Members of Convicted Women Against Abuse, a support group for battered women inside the California Institution for Women, wrote a letter to Governor Wilson asking him to review the cases of battered women who were serving time for killing their abusers. ...
• The women’s plea for clemency galvanized advocates for battered women throughout the state, who organized into the California Coalition for Battered Women in Prison. The Coalition helped women submit detailed, individual clemency petitions. Coalition advocates spent hundreds of hours carefully investigating and preparing the petitions for each case. ... Thousands of people sent letters and petitions to the Governor supporting the release of these women. ... All these women were in abusive relationships, and were convicted of acts they took to defend themselves or their children from ongoing abuse. ...
• The clemency effort in California is part of a national clemency movement across the country. Both Republican and Democratic governors in over 22 states have granted clemency to more than 150 battered women who were serving time for killing or assaulting their abusers. ...
• Wilson decided 6 of the 34 clemency petitions submitted by the California Coalition for Battered Women in Prison. He commuted the sentences of two women, and denied the other four clemency requests. Even in the cases which he commuted, however, he failed to base his decisions on the fact that these women had been battered and were acting in self-defense. ...

• AFFILIATION: University of California, Los Angeles. ...
• This study was an outcome evaluation of the Forever Free Substance Abuse Treatment Program at the California Institution for Women (CIW). Data were collected from 119 women who entered Forever Free between October 1997 and June 1998. Comparison data were collected from 96 women enrolled in Life Plan for Recovery, an eight-week substance abuse education course at CIW, between April and November 1998. ... Women in both groups participated in 12-month follow-up interviews between September 1999 and August 2000, which were used to update background information and collect information on subjects' relationships with their children, drug use since release, substance abuse treatment since release, vocational training since release, services needed and received, social support, current treatment motivation, psychological status, and drug-related locus of control. Reincarceration data for the entire sample were obtained from the Offender-Based Information System, a database maintained by the California Department of Corrections.
• STUDY PURPOSE: This study was an outcome evaluation of the Forever Free Substance Abuse Treatment Program at the California Institution for Women (CIW). ... , under contract with the Office of Substance Abuse Programs of the California Department of Corrections. Forever Free is a modified therapeutic community with a curriculum that emphasizes relapse prevention, cognitive-behavioral skill building, and women's issues. At the time of the study, treatment was six months in duration and participants attended treatment for four hours per day in addition to their eight-hour work assignment in a prison job or educational program. A new cohort of about 30 women joined the program every six weeks. ... The objectives of this study were to: (1) contrast the 12-month post-release outcomes of Forever Free participants with those of a comparison group with regard to parole performance, drug use, employment, and psychological functioning, (2) examine differences between groups with regard to their relationships with their children following release to parole (custody status and parenting), (3) examine service needs during parole for both groups, and (4) determine outcome predictors for the whole sample and for Forever Free participants (tested predictors included group status, age, ethnicity, primary drug problem, criminal history, psychological functioning, level of therapeutic alliance, treatment readiness, and locus of control).
• STUDY DESIGN: Data were collected from 119 women who entered Forever Free between October 1997 and June 1998. Comparison data were collected from 96 women enrolled in Life Plan for Recovery, an eight-week substance abuse education course at CIW, between April and November 1998. ... Due to limited funds, less background information was collected from the women in the comparison group than from those in the treatment group. Women in both groups participated in 12-month follow-up interviews between September 1999 and August 2000. ... Subjects who were incarcerated or selected for urine tests received face-to-face interviews (amounting to 61 percent of the sample). ... Reincarceration data for the entire sample were obtained from the Offender-Based Information System, a database maintained by the California Department of Corrections.

Ritter met University of California Regent and philanthropist Phoebe Hearst with whom she shared an interest in women students at the university. In 1891, a group of women students approached Dr. Ritter to ask her to give them free medical examinations, a prerequisite set by the university for use by women of the gymnasium. "I sometimes felt as if the masculine powers-that-be thought that women were made of glass," Ritter noted in her autobiography. Ritter agreed and provided medical examinations gratis to women students for several years until Mrs. Hearst arranged for Dr. Ritter to be appointed the first regular medical examiner for women at the University of California. Hearst paid Ritter's salary to ensure that women students had the same access to care as men students. ...

• Volunteers work to free those convicted of killing abusive partners before syndrome was recognized in California.
• Her lawyers say her action resulted from five years of physical abuse, including being forced to have sex with other women.
• Wallace and Crawford were convicted in the 1980s, before battered women's syndrome was recognized as a defense by California courts. Both women have been serving what could amount to life terms in state prison. ...
• Senate Bill 799, enacted in January, gives inmates convicted before 1992 the right to file habeas corpus petitions to overturn their convictions on the grounds that battered women's syndrome evidence was not used in their defense.
• It was not until 1992 that California courts were required to admit expert testimony about the syndrome, which refers to the effects of repeated physical and psychological abuse. The 1992 change--and a 1996 state Supreme Court ruling allowing for acquittals of battered women who acted in self-defense--has helped many women in more current cases avoid murder convictions.
• The state Board of Prison Terms is investigating claims from about 100 women who say their crimes should have been mitigated by evidence of domestic abuse, said chief investigator David McAuley. The board, which evaluates inmates for parole, has found that battered women's syndrome was a factor in 14 cases so far.
• There are 442 women in the state prison system for pre-1992 convictions for murder or attempted murder, though not necessarily of a spouse. Advocates for battered women say many of those inmates may be eligible to have their cases reexamined.
• Twenty-six inmates from the California Institution for Women in Corona--ages 35 to 65--have been selected for assistance by the project's organizers, the California Women's Law Center, USC's Post-Conviction Justice Project and the California Coalition for Battered Women in Prison.

•   Guards at Corcoran had to be disciplined for staging gladiator fights.   Five employees of the women's prison near Chino resigned in September 1999 amidst sexual misconduct allegations and 40 more officers were said to be involved.   Investigators have expanded the probe to the other three women's prisons.   At least one incident has been referred to the San Bernardino County district attorney's office for possible criminal prosecution.   According to Kati Corsaut, a spokesperson for the Department of Corrections, "We are focusing the investigation on the staff. ...   In February 2000, a retired correctional officer and another officer on paid administrative leave from the California Institution for Women were arraigned on one count each of engaging in sexual activity with a confined consenting adult, a misdemeanor under California law.
