Women's studies panels:  Why we still need Women's Studies: Our Work is
Never Done!

As women predominantly in the United States and other Western nations
continue to realize ever greater achievement and opportunity, many have
begun to question the ongoing necessity of women's studies and feminism.
"Hasn't it all been done already?=A8 some ask.  Papers and presentations

studies and the importance it maintains in today's society, not only in
America but also around the world, including but certainly not limited to=

	Global issues
