'Thursday Club' offers support, camaraderie.
"The rhetoric of individualism is wearing a bit thin," said Dr. Lois Eveleth, professor and chair of the philosophy department at Salve Regina University RI. "We need to achieve a consensus on how to view the human experience."
Dr. Sarah Littlefield, professor of English at Salve Regina, and Eveleth are part of a group of women academics who call themselves "The Thursday Club." It provides women from various disciplines a feminist forum that fosters intellectual discourse and research.

Clubs like the Thursday Club are the first steps in counteracting the isolating individualism found in academe. "They are what we can do and what we should do," said Eveleth. "What matters is the willingness to show up, to read, to meet, to exchange ideas and to have something to say."
Littlefield and Eveleth discussed Salve Regina's Thursday Club and its impact on their professional lives at the National Association of Women in Catholic Higher Education (NAWCHE) conference held in Providence RI in June.
Women's clubs in history
The Thursday Club had its beginnings in history. Littlefield read about Ralph Waldo Emerson's Saturday Club. The group of 11 men gathered in the back room of the Parker House in Boston at 3 p.m. on the last Saturday of the month. There they ate a sumptuous seven-course meal complete with fine wine.
