And some faculty are leading the way to a curriculum that reflects the forces of globalization.

Encompassing Gender is an anthology of more than 40 essays by 60 scholars, many of them working in groups that cut across the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences, all of them committed to an interdisciplinary approach to internationalizing the curriculum. These scholar-teachers promote the discovery of more diverse and global perspectives. Strategies for focus are key.

The volume includes essays, course syllabi, annotated bibliographies and videographies, as well as novel teaching strategies and suggestions for a variety of international materials. The contributors take a fully integrated approach to such transformational curricular work, recommending both theoretical perspectives and specific strategies for teaching.

Mary M. Lay served as the director of the Center for Advanced Feminist and is now professor of rhetoric at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Janice Monk is executive director of the Southwest Institute for Research on Women (SIROW) and adjunct professor of geography at the University of Arizona. Deborah S. Rosenfelt is professor of women's studies and director of the Curriculum Transformation Project at the University of Maryland, College Park.

They also had to overcome literary and social stereotypes. We learn their views on wilderness, Indians, race, and religion as well as how they reacted to the daily challenges of keeping house, raising a family, and gaining a measure of equality.

"A strikingly original, highly readable, and informative history that will be used by scholars and lay readers alike."--Howard Lamar, from the Foreword

"A beautifully crafted book. . . . Although it varies in intensity, the response of women to the environment is virtually always different from the male frontiersman's view of the land as inanimate, boundless, conquerable and controllable." —Polly Wells Kaufman in Women's Review of Books

"A powerful masterpiece." —Eve Gruntfest in The Professional Geographer]]> 197377 4.00 3 0 1997
