Autonomy Vs. Integration Debate
Some quick points to know are:
- The debate's aim was for directors of women studies projects in different universities to meet and assess the theories and practices.
- It was important to include information from other demographics besides white, heterosexual able and young females.
- Feminists opposed the idea of integrating the subject into mainstream higher studies curriculum citing the reason that the subject is still young and if integrated, it will not develop.
- Autonomy had the appeal of independence and feminist scholars would not be answerable to anyone for the subject's content.
