This collection brings together contributions which address issues
and debates within contemporary women's studies and feminism. The
variety of feminist perspectives which emerge from these papers
reveal the extent to which the diversities of women's experiences
continue to reshape feminist knowledge and politics. A recurrent
theme is how to work with these diversitites, and how to make
connections which do not recreate hierarchies or oppressive
practices, which privilege the experiences and aims of some women
over those of others. The contributions here, from inside and
outside the academy, give expression to the multiplicity of
feminist voices which inform the educational and political
development of women's studies in the 1990s.
This text presents evidence of the work and action of feminists in
academia and shows that there is still much to be done before
academia is a safe and welcoming environment for women. Women
integrate their experience with theory to document and challenge
the obstacles to equality and difference.

This text brings together leading feminists who explore questions
of feminist interventions in organisations of knowledge production,
covering both the structure and culture of academic institutions
and the social divisions between women. Feminism is located as a
force for change, empowering women to gain a political
understanding and providing a methodology for new approaches to
teaching, learning, research and writing in the academy.
Contributions demonstrate how an analysis of the micropolitics of
the academy in terms of power, policies, discourses, pedagogy and
interpersonal relationships provides a framework for de-
privatising women's experience and influencing change. Using
theoretical constructs and their own biographies and experience,
the contributors present predicaments, inequalities and strategies.
Power and influence are considered in conjunction with gender,
'race', social class and sexuality.
