         Home of the UNC Women’s and Gender Studies Department , the Smith Building is one of 8 buildings on campus named solely for a woman. The department traces its origins in part to the Women’s Studies Committee of the 1970s. However, as seen in the 1974 letter by Senior Jamie Ellis, above, early committee members felt that a separate department of Women’s Studies was unnecessary, instead favoring an interdisciplinary approach spread across multiple departments.
