Welcome to Women's Studies at The Pennsylvania State University!

Women's Studies is a central site for interdisciplinary teaching and research in the College of the Liberal Arts
at Penn State. As a field of study, Women's Studies analyzes the unequal distribution of power and resources by gender. By adding the perceptions, contributions, and experiences of women, this young and vital field of research and teaching has produced an exciting body of knowledge and theory that transforms traditional areas of study.
