This book introduces certain ideas and reflections on feminism and the women's movement. The essays included here raise issues of concern in women's studies. The origin of women's studies as a discipline within English literature is highlighted. Similarly, the connection of feminist ideas with the women's movement is underlined as an important part of the struggle for emancipation.
This volume is divided into four sections. The first introduces certain key issues in women's studies, the second raises issues of the women's movement, the third comprises abstracts of papers presented at the ASR women's studies conference, March 1994, and the fourth section consists of appendices which provide a quick guide to the conference activities and the process involved in organizing an event of this kind.
This book is aimed to serve as a useful resource book as well as a reference guide for people interested in these issues. It is also hoped to provide women access to each other's work. The abstracts have been included to enable those interested in research, to become aware of the work done by other women in their area of interest. The names and addresses of conference participants allow women to get in touch with one another to exchange ideas in the interactive process of knowledge-making.
