Description

Introduction In 1991, Jeri Dawn Wine wrote that the "very existence of women's studies" was one of the women's "movement's major triumphs" (Wine, 1991, p. 342). Now, many years later, these words are more important than ever. They suggest the "herstory" of how the women's movement helped us in academia to uncover the patriarchal biases in scholarship, to create new concepts and approaches, and to suggest alternative ways forward for change. I know that the women's movement motivated me as a young academic to participate in the considerable intellectual work required to rethink foundational assumptions for what would become women's studies/recherches feministes.
