- Description
- In the last decades, in spite of the risks, certain groups of women have been facing the Medusa as they confront the ongoing impossibility of women's studies. Private and public debates both within and around the domain of women's studies and feminist camps, in particular, those emerging from women of color movements such as mestiza, mujerista, womanist and U.S. Third World feminisms, have questioned the viability of a movement that could embrace all women.
