25 Years of Struggle and Achievement Remembered
A History of Women's Studies at the Ohio State University, written in honor of our 25th Anniversary Celebration in 1997
Over the past 25 years, much has been accomplished at The Ohio State University to establish feminist scholarship. We are proud to have celebrated 25 years of Women's Studies on our campus. In honor of this landmark event, we asked past directors to share their memories of founding a new field of interdisciplinary study inspired by the women's movement and the second wave of feminism in the 1960s.
