Cultural Politics
Nancy J. Holland
To The Editor:
In response to William Tierney's review of John McGowan's book, Democracy's Children: Intellectuals and the Rise of Cultural Politics in the January-February issue, I would like to point out to both Tierney and McGowan that, if they are looking for a place "where intellectuals . . . work in groups aimed not at convergence, but at understanding one ano-ther's positions" and where "the artificial divide between town and gown [has been] done away with so that individuals and groups can inform one another," all they need to do is to visit the women's studies programs at their respective institutions, where these kinds of interactions are probably commonplace.
