The Women's Studies Program at Kent State University honors the purpose and work of Women's Studies programs and departments worldwide. Our program encourages students to explore the lives, stories, roles and places of women in human societies from a variety of perspectives - as well as to examine the issues inherent in such material. The program permits students to cross the borders between one discipline and another as they re-consider human knowledge ...                    remembering the second sex.
