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 Reader

“The Reader is a brief tale about sex, love, reading and shame in postwar Germany. Michael Berg is 15 when he begins an affair with Hanna, an enigmatic older woman. When she disappears one day, he expects never to see her again. But, to his horror, he does. Hanna is a defendant in a trial related to Germany’s Nazi past, and it soon becomes clear that she is guilty of an unspeakable crime. As Michael follows the trial, he struggles with an overwhelming question: what should his generation do with its knowledge of the Holocaust?”
