Bonnie Ritter did most of the groundwork and was primary organizer for the group of women scholars who formed the National Communication Association Women's Caucus in 1971. Caucus success led, more than a decade later, to establishing NCA's Feminist and Women Studies Division so that feminist scholarship would have a formal and recognized home within the association. This award is testament to the courage, tenacity, and intellectual imagination of Professor Ritter and her colleagues.
