“WSTD has changed my way of seeing the world and helped me appreciate the diversity of people's opinions, beliefs, and ways of living. I now recognize the sexist practices in our society which I had never realized and questioned before.”


The Department of Women's Studies at Memorial University offers students the opportunity to explore the roles and contributions of women in past and contemporary societies.

Women's Studies addresses not only the need for a fuller understanding of women in society but also for new criteria and methods of assessing the status of women.
