The View from Women's Studies.

Kessler-Harris, Alice

Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, v17 n4 p794-805 Sum 1992

Intellectual and political commitments of women's studies programs to multiculturalism allow such programs to influence debate inside the university, but the same commitment generates internal controversy. Issues of women's studies and political correctness are discussed. An approach respecting and incorporating diverse cultural traditions is essential to women's studies. (SLD)
