Transforming the Disciplines: A Women's Studies Primer (Haworth Innovations in Feminist Studies)

Selected by Choice Magazine as an outstanding academic title, this is one of the first women's studies textbooks to show feminist scholarship as an active force, changing the way we study such diverse fields as architecture, bioethics, history, mathematics, religion, and sports studies. Its clear, jargon-free prose makes feminist thought accessible to general readers without sacrificing the revolutionary power of its ideas. In almost thirty essays, Transforming the Disciplines exemplifies the changes achieved by feminist thought. Here's what Choice Magazine said: "A FINE COLLECTION. . . . A primer DESPERATELY NEEDED by those who have been teaching courses such as Introduction to Women's Studies. . . . Brief, easy-to-read essays by notable authors from virtually every academic field. . . . Each essay also provides the invaluable resource of an extensive bibliography. . . . This collection should find its way into curricula as a supplemental text in any discipline, as well as into public, private, and academic libraries."Elizabeth L Macnabb is the author of 'Transforming the Disciplines: A Women's Studies Primer (Haworth Innovations in Feminist Studies)', published 2001 under ISBN 9781560239604 and ISBN 1560239603.
