  A Routledge Journal: Feminist Media Studies
Feminist Media Studies provides a transdisciplinary, transnational forum for researchers pursuing feminist approaches to the field of media and communication studies, with attention to the historical, philosophical, cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions and analysis of sites including print and electronic media, film and the arts, and new media technologies.
Feminist Media Studies promotes recognition that feminist studies of the media represent an open, dynamic and contested field of inquiry, thus allowing the definitions and differences among theories, levels of analysis, modes of inquiry, and practices to emerge through scholarly dialogue.
The journal represents a wealth of positions and experiences of feminist researchers who are diverse in origin and interests as regards nation, race, ethnicity, class, and sexual identities, so that these multiple perspectives may enrich analysis of the media.

 Feminist Studies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Clearly the chief impulse for the emergence of Women's Studies as a new "academic discipline" was the so-called women's liberation movement, which was in high gear by the end of the 1960's.
Women's Studies provides such a program, and parents who sacrifice to send their daughters to college are often disillusioned when young women come home bitter at the world, hating all men, calling for the restructuring of Western civilization -- and with no useful knowledge or skills to bring to the marketplace.
One wonders if these proponents of Women's Studies are actually spies for the patriarchy, intending to keep women in their place by ensuring that they think only "women's thoughts," and therefore withdraw from the ongoing dialogue about more important matters that continue to take place in society at large.
