Women's Studies investigates the world from women-centred perspectives which cross the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines. Thus every issue, every question is material for Women's Studies. The worldwide development of Women's Studies during the 1970s and 1980s presented a radical challenge to the male-centred bias which dominated knowledge-making at the time.

Originally published in 1983, in this book feminist scholars discuss the assumptions and aims of Women's Studies, its connections with the women's movement, its research, its teaching and its emerging methodologies.

The contributors come from a range of disciplines: the humanities, the social and natural sciences, and from international backgrounds, primarily the USA, and Britain, Germany and Switzerland. They are united in working to develop a trans-disciplinary approach to the generation and distribution of knowledge and it is these new questions and their implications that demonstrate the exciting potential of a feminist education in women's international quest for social change.
