Women's Studies as a strategy for change: Between criticism and vision
Underlying the current dialogue concerning alternative methods for practicing Women’s Studies lies the fundamental question of purpose: why study women, their historical contexts and their created works? The answer to this question cannot be logically deduced from any theory or method, but lies outside of the scholarly process. It is rooted in the personally defined intentions of the scholar-teacher herself. The answer which one gives to this que…
Feminist Criticism of the Social Sciences
The tensions and contradictions that permeate women's lives simultaneously create the potential for both alienation and liberation. These antithetical conditions form the outline of the debate within the social sciences concerning the interpretation of women's experiences. Marcia Westkott discusses the feminist criticism of the content,method, and purpose of knowledge about women as defined by the social sciences, and offers a dialectical alterna…

Comparable Worth versus the Free Market: A Case Study
In principle, comparable worth means simply equal pay for work of comparable value.1 In practice, it has been used to argue that job categories filled predominantly by women should be paid the same as those filled mainly by men if their work is of equal value to the employer-and thus to challenge an underlying cultural assumption that women's work is worth less than men's. The devaluation of women's work has historically been tied to the sexual d…

Feministisk kritik av samhällsvetenskaperna
De spänningar och motsättningar som genomsyrar kvinnors liv ger möjlighet till både alienation och frigörelse och utgör grunden till debatten inom samhällsvetenskaperna om hur kvinnors erfarenheter skall tolkas. Marcia Westkott diskuterar här den feministiska kritiken av innehåll, metoder och syfte vad gäller kunskapen om kvinnor så som den definieras av samhällsvetare och presenterar ett dialektiskt alternativ till konventionella analyser

Mothers and Daughters in the World of the Father
Mothers and daughters, what Adrienne Rich has called that great unwritten story,[1] is a uniquely female saga. Because the characters are all women, it is one of the few stories to emerge from patriarchal society that women can tell exclusively. To relate the story is the opportunity for women to name our own experience, to create our own symbols, to give form to our feelings. It is an opportunity for self-discovery and for sharing and testing th…
Dialectics of Fantasy
The very mention of female fantasy can easily stir up a stereotypical image: the weary, slightly hysterical housewife amid the debris of laundry, cooking, dirty dishes, and screaming kids. It is only mid-morning and the soap operas have not started yet, so she finds her refuge and escape from conditions that she can't control in a fantasy. Predictably, the fantasy resembles the soap operas: a handsome young man--perhaps a rich medical resident fr…
