Description: "Transforming the Disciplines is one of the first women's studies books to show feminist scholarship as an active force, changing the way we study such diverse fields as architecture, bioethics, history, mathematics, religion, and sports studies. Its clear, jargon-free prose makes feminist thought accessible without sacrificing the revolutionary power of its ideas. In almost thirty essays, Transforming the Disciplines exemplifies the changes achieved by feminist thought."--BOOK JACKET.
