Definición

  • Called the “academic arm of the women's movement” when it first emerged in United States colleges and universities, women studies drew from a number of different influences and inspirations that converged around institutions of higher learning during the 1960s. These influences included the informal, community-based classes associated with the free university movement, identity-based programs and departments recently launched in several universities such as Chicano studies and black studies, as well as consciousness-raising groups popularized within the women's liberation movement between 1968 and 1975.
