LANGUAGE, AND NAMING IN PARTICULAR, have been one of the earliest and most consistent concerns of feminist scholars. The literature on sexist language and its problems is voluminous. It is therefore surprising to find that the literature debating what to name our collective endeavour is exceedingly sparse. This may be partially a reflection of the fact that, in general, there is only a very scarce literature that concerns itself with women's studies as a field of inquiry; by and large, the sociology of women's studies has yet to be written.
