The Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship announces the creation of The Foremothers Fund as a way to honor teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends who have played an important role, not only in our own lives, but in bringing to light the lives of medieval women. Each year at Kalamazoo we celebrate the work of a recently retired scholar through sessions devoted to her or his interests and a luncheon.

Contributions to The Foremothers Fund also support the annual Foremother Fellowship, a monetary and mentoring award given each your to a graduate student. The Foremothers initiative honors those whose work forms the foundation of feminist scholarship today and ensures that our mission is passed on to the next generation of scholars. No gift is too small.
