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.

The Middle Place
by Kelly Corrigan

The Middle Place

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."
