WHAT IS WOMEN'S STUDIES?

Women's studies is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field of research. It investigates the historical, cultural and social status of gender and sexuality and aims to produce new information on gender relations, women's lives and status in society. Women's studies also includes men's studies and queer studies as well as studies in equality.
