Caldwell challenges the work of mainstream legal scholars and, in some cases, the work of white feminist scholars such as Catharine MacKinnon and Robin West. These black feminist legal scholars are also generating new and exciting scholarship on the intersection of race, class, and gender in feminist legal theory and critical race theory. In 1991 new and important periodicals related to this work emerged: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law, published by students from the Columbia University School of Law for the purpose of expanding feminist jurisprudence and providing a forum for the discussion of legal and interdisciplinary issues related to gender; Circles, founded by students at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law and their women's studies program, which provides a forum for exploring the legal and social challenges facing women of diverse races, economic classes, and cultures; and Harvard Women's Law Journal.

Feminist scholarship is also making headway in other professional disciplines—for example, nursing and social work—which has important implications for graduate work in women's studies. While there has been a growing body of work on domestic violence (including cross-cultural research), a new area of concern, generated by nurse scholars in Canada and elsewhere, is the widespread practice of violence against women outside the home, especially in the workplace. For example, Jocelynne Scott's "The Domestic Paradigm: Violence, Nurturance, and Stereotyping of the Sexes," analyzes violence against nurses in hospitals.

Exciting new work is also being done by feminist anthropologists and archaeologists. Gender and Anthropology: Critical Reviews for Research and Teaching, edited by Sandra Morgen and organized by geographic region, is the result of a three-year project funded by the U.S. Department of Education that will help transform the undergraduate curriculum in anthropology, especially its introductory courses. Engendering Archaeology: Women and Pre-history, edited by Joan Gero and Margaret Conkey, calls for much-needed paradigm shifts within the male-dominated field of archaeology. Yesterday's People: An Archaeology and History of Black and White Cultures in Annapolis, ca. 1730, by historical archaeologist Anne Yentsch, is unusual because central to its analysis is the situation of women of African descent in the Chesapeake region. Beyond the Second Sex: New Directions in the Anthropology of Gender has been called "a significant contribution to feminist anthropology [one that] deserves a wide audience beyond its discipline."

Graduate study in women's studies is also increasing and promises to transform the disciplines in even more profound ways. Presently there are over 100 institutions offering graduate level work in women's studies. The National Women's Studies Association's 1991 report, which profiles 65 diverse institutions, reveals that most graduate work takes place in "tradi-
