Each year at Kalamazoo the Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship honors and celebrates the work of a recently retired scholar through sessions devoted to their interests and a luncheon. 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.

Foremothers in Medieval Feminist Publishing: Jerry Singerman and Ruth Karras
The Foremothers Fund allows scholars 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 people and issues. Contributions to The Foremothers Fund support the annual Foremother Fellowship, a monetary and mentoring award given each your to a graduate student. No gift is too small.
