What is Women's Studies?
Women's studies at UNT promotes the
academic study of women's achievements, roles, and experiences,
both historically and across cultures. This multi-disciplinary
program fosters understanding of the diverse realities of
women's lives by encouraging teaching and research about the
ways in which class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and
age shape female experiences. Courses in women's studies offer
valuable perspectives about women in the family and at work, in
literature, in politics, in Western thought, and in world
cultures.
Currently, Women's Studies offers an undergraduate minor and an
interdisciplinary master's degree.

Bluestockings Book Club
The Middle Place
by Kelly Corrigan
Thursday, Feb. 18, 7:00 pm
@ Barnes and Noble
"Newspaper
columnist Corrigan was a happily married mother of 2 young daughters when she
discovered a cancerous lump in her breast.
She was still undergoing treatment when she learned that her beloved
father, who’d already survived prostate cancer, had bladder cancer. Corrigan’s story could have been unbearably
depressing had it not been for her family.
All these stories lead up to where she is now, in that middle place,
being someone’s child, but also having children of her own. Those learning to
accept their own adulthood might find strength in Corrigan’s feisty memoir."
-- From Publisher's Weekly
(288 pgs.)
