Women's Issues and Social Work Accreditation: A Status Report

Abstract

This article highlights the challenges inherent in bringing a feminist perspective to women's issues in a woman's profession. It also reviews efforts by the Council on Social Work Education's Commission on the Role and Status of Women to determine how the accreditation process is perceived as a vehicle for improving the conditions and addressing the gender-based concerns of women faculty and students and increasing the inclusion of women's content in the curriculum.
