L’UQAM offre le premier cours en études féministes dans le réseau francophone canadien. Intitulé « Histoire de la condition féminine » , le cours est dispensé en « team teaching » par près d'une vingtaine de professeurs-es et de chargées de cours. Le cours est suivi par plus de 200 étudiantes et étudiants. D’emblée, ce cours instaurait une tradition d’interdisciplinarité et d’innovation pédagogique qui caractérisera le développement des études féministes à l’UQAM.

The Canadian Newsletter of Research on Women/Recherches sur la Femme-Bulletin d'Information Canadien begins publishing. The founding editors are: Margrit Eichler, Sociology, University of Waterloo; Marylee Stephenson, Sociology, Windsor University. The first newsletter came out with a subsidy of $50 [sic] from the department of Sociology to cover mailing costs. The rest of the work, including all the secretarial work, was done by volunteers. The publication later receives funding from the Honourable Marc Lalonde in his capacity as Minister Responsible for the Status of Women in Canada and the Secretary of State, Women's Programmes. When Margrit Eichler moves to OISE in 1975, she brings the newsletter along with her; it is still located at OISE (2002), now under the name of Resources for Feminist Research/ Documentation sur la recherche féministe.
