This book explores the evolutions of American Women's Studies from its first entry into the academy in the 1960s and 1970s to present day politics and programs. These dramatic changes naturally mirror larger changes in both American and academic politics, culture, and history. Over these years, every aspect of the field has been questioned and debated. This book opens with an exploration of evolutions in Women's Studies as they occurred chronologically. Next are reflective essays written by influential Women's Studies scholars, addressing their actual experiences in the feminist movement and in the Women's Studies classroom, through a range of political debates about the very nature of feminism and Women's Studies. They question Women's Studies' right to exist, as well as where it stands within the university disciplinary structure. They also look at what should be its primary goals, and consider whether or not the field should be for women about women, or about gender, suggesting, among other things, that men need to be an integral part of Women's Studies theory, research, and analysis.
