Scholarship on "women's clubs" - organizations created and controlled by women - has flourished in the humanities and social sciences for the past thirty years. This special issue of Frontiers calls for retrospective examinations of the field and for essays whose innovative questions forecast its future. The topics for these essays are open. Possible themes include asking how clubs construct numerous types of identities to how they shape notions of place, from local to global. Papers can explore how clubs engage in culture productions, genteel and popular, and all kinds of politics, ranging from personal to transnational, radical to conservative.

An inter- and multidisciplinary journal, Frontiers welcomes submissions of creative works such as artwork, fiction, and poetry, as well as scholarly papers. Works must be original, and not published or under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Submissions can be sent by email to frontiers@asu.edu or on disc according to submission guidelines at http://www.asu.edu/clas/history/frontiers/submit.html. Authors' names should not appear on the manuscript; please list contact information separately.
