On November 12, 2001, Susan Gubar, co-author of The Madwoman in the Attic and more recently, of Critical Condition, visited UL Lafayette to help inaugurate the women's studies undergraduate minor through the College of Liberal Arts. Her visit was the result of the generous support of and collaboration between the Department of English, the Graduate School, the College of Liberal Arts, the Graduate Student Organization, the Lyceum Committee of SGA, and the Department of History. She gave a wonderful set of presentations—a seminar on feminism and pedagogy in the afternoon and a bracing performance in the evening from her work-in-progress entitled "A Feminism of One's Own," a subtle integration of theory and autobiography.
