  • There is a minor distinction between feminist studies and women's studies, two related interdisciplinary subjects that examine gender, sexuality, and women's experiences. Feminist studies take a wider view by looking at the larger dynamics of power, oppression, and intersectionality, whereas women's studies are historically concentrated on the study of women's roles and contributions in society. Feminist studies promote social justice and equality for all genders by addressing how gender interacts with other social categories in addition to emphasising the experiences of women.
