...Miss Anthony would also have appreciated the occasion. For the first time in Harvard's history, the graduates of its distaff campus, Radcliffe, received their diplomas along with the men. And also for the first time, the traditional commencement address in Latin was delivered by a classical scholar in a skirt. Radcliffe's Kirsten Mishkin, 21, a magna cum laude graduate, borrowed a quote from Horace to take this signal honor in stride: "non humilis mulier triumpho" (a woman not humble in triumph...
After her salute to Miss Anthony and the other precursors of Women's Lib, Graduate Mishkin staked out some ground of her very own. It was a very feminine declaration, all in impeccable Latin, that today's woman does not necessarily want to be man's superior, but simply his peer: "Together, let us establish a new society, the foundations of which will be ... not fear, but good will; not war between the sexes, but loyal brotherhood and sisterly love."

...University of California's board of regents, which is packed with Governor Reagan conservatives, has been trying to dislodge Angela Davis, 26, from her teaching post in the department of philosophy at U.C.L.A.

Her Hedda has replaced duty to others with the new, disguised puritanism of self-fulfillment: duty to oneself. She wants to do her own thing, if only she knew what it was. Push her bumbling academic husband into politics? Take on a new lover? Or pull back onto her puppet strings the old lover she never quite had the courage to claim? It is a compassionately balanced mood-portrait of modern woman: boredom at the level...
...does not really matter that Ibsen's well-made play seems less so today or that his men appear flattened even before his women get to them. Miss Worth survives the limitations of her script, which makes her a good actress, and her own limitations as well, which may make her a great actress. Her final achievement is persuading the audience to think of Hedda Gabler not only as modern woman but as modern human being-that disordered creature of either sex whose tragedy is to need love all the more for not being able to offer...
