How far have women come? What about efforts to end sexism and racism? What impact do social relationships between women and men have on society? Celebrating it's 25th anniversary the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies is proud to give you the knowledge and tools you need to answer these and other questions and help improve the well-being of those who make up more than half the human race.
