Women's Studies Quarterly: (98:3-4): Internationalizing Women's Studies: Adding Gender to Area StudiesDeborah S. Rosenfelt Feminist Press at CUNY, 1998 - 256 pages This issue of WSQ explores two related but not identical dimensions of internationalizing women's studies: what does it mean to think and teach about women's lives and gender arrangements around the world, and what does it mean to bring international perspectives to bear on women's lives and gender arrangements in any given location, including the United States? |
