Abstract

This article draws on my research work with women's studies students throughout the three years of their degrees at a 'new' university in London. In examining the place of women's studies in the lives of its students, it considers four broad areas: why women choose to study women's studies; the question of men in the women's studies classroom; difference and diversity; and the connection between women's studies and feminist politics. It concludes that women find themselves constantly challenged in exciting ways by the ideas they encounter in women's studies. The place that women's studies occupies in the lives of its students is central and powerful.
