The study of woman

In Salient July 24 you claim that Victoria could be in 1975 the first university to offer an Integrated programme of woman studies. This is in fact incorrect. Waikato University has two women's studies courses offered for full-time students, one in the Department of Sociology and one in the Department of Psychology. In addition the university offered an extension course on women in society. These courses covered the history of women, end the women's movement, women as people, women in society and both looked at the contemporary role of women.

Both of the above courses are to be offered again next year.
