Feminists have often called Women's Studies the "academic arm of
the women's movement." But Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge charge
that the attempt to make Women's Studies serve a political agenda
has led to deeply problematic results: dubious scholarship,
pedagogical practices that resemble indoctrination more than
education, and the alienation of countless potential supporters. In
this new and expanded edition of their controversial 1994 book, the
authors update their analysis of what's gone wrong with Women's
Studies programs. Original chapters feature interviews with
professors, students, and staffers who invested much time and
effort in Women's Studies, and new chapters look primarily at
documents recently generated from within Women's Studies itself.
Through critiques of actual program mission statements, course
descriptions, newsletters, and e-mail lists devoted to feminist
pedagogy and Women's Studies, and, not least, the writings of
well-known feminist scholars, Patai and Koertge provide a detailed
and devastating examination of the routine practices found in
feminist teaching and research.
