Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field examining global conditions and issues for women both historically and present day. The gender analysis may be applied to cultural representations of women and men, gender stratification, gender dynamics in social institutions such as the family, economy, polity and religion, and to interpersonal relations and communications. There is an emphasis on women's participation in the construction of knowledge and in decisions regarding moral, ethical and aesthetic values.
