When women ask the questions

Twenty-five years after the establishment of the first women's studies program, Marilyn Boxer says, the time has come to assess "where we have been, and where we are going." In When Women Ask the Questions, she traces the successes and failures of women's studies, examines the field's enduring impact on the world of higher education, and concludes that the rise of women's studies has challenged the university in the same way that feminism has challenged society at large.
