Yet intrepid women--students, faculty, administrators, members of the community--persisted in collaborating to form women's studies. In doing so, they created a movement that altered curricula and teaching styles, and shifted paradigms and content across disciplines. These original essays by "founding mothers" feature a diversity of voices: young graduate students or new PhD's just beginning to teach and untenured; tenured professors in search of ways to improve their students' capacities to learn; older, veteran academics at last witnessing change; and even a few administrators. In all of these programs, founders grappled not only with issues of gender, but with those of class, race, and sexuality, in a decade infused with political unrest and questioning, when civil rights and anti-war activism, as well as feminism, shaped academic worlds. 410 0$aWomen's studies history series ;$vv. 1. 606 $aDiscrimination in education$zUnited States 606 $aFeminism and education$zUnited States 606 $aWomen scholars$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWomen's studies$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination in education 615 0$aFeminism and education 615 0$aWomen scholars$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen's studies$xHistory. 676 $a305.4/071/173 702 $aBuhle$b Mari Jo 702 $aHowe$b Florence 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158967303321 996 $aThe politics of women's studies$92846362 997 $aUNINA
