The study of women in the academy, and of African women in the African and global academy, is the result of developments in feminist activism in the Global North and South, in everyday spaces and in academic and policy circles. This chapter explores in detail the historical development of the field, the questions of identity within the discipline, what themes occupy the study, the import of women's studies for African development, and the future directions of the study.
