Generations of Feminism and Gender Studies in Europe
How did feminism shape the rise of gender studies in Europe?
Using a generational lens, this book offers fresh insights and perspectives on the ongoing development and establishment of gender studies in Europe. With contributions from pioneering women scholars who built and sustained the European Sociological Association’s Research Network 33, it provides an unprecedented history of how feminism and women’s studies was the catalyst for a gender turn in academic thought.
Highlighting the interdisciplinary innovations feminism brought to the field, this is a vital exploration of the lasting impact of generations of scholars on European and global gender studies.
