| Omschrijving: | From their origins in the Middle Ages to the early 20th century, universities were predominantly male bastions. However, as the 20th century progressed, women not only began to gain access to these institutions but also, driven by the surge of the feminist movement during the sixties and seventies, started to actively challenge both the university curriculum and scientific knowledge. This questioning catalyzed the emergence of women’s studies and, over time, gender studies. These fields of knowledge focused on confronting sexist ideology and the dominant gender order in society. Therefore, this essay explores the relationship between women’s access to formal education and the advancement of the feminist movement in academia. The goal is to provide an initial historical exploration of women’s presence in universities and their link to the origins of gender studies. |
