In the Chapter Ⅱ of this report, the developmental processes of Women's Studies program on PWU were researched, and in Chapter Ⅲ, as a model case Women's Studies programs in Korea were surveyed. Since the first courses were opened in the 1980's, Women's Studies program was rapidly expanded and developed in Korea. About 33 courses were offered in 1989 throughout the country.
