Abstract

Women's courses continue to face questions about their contributionto the social work curriculum and their relevance for mainstream andnonmainstream students. The study described in this article comparedthe effects of feminist social work education in three classes of predominately white students with those in one class of native Canadian andimmigrant students. In all the classes, the students' feminist identification increased, practice approaches changed, and self-esteem wasenhanced. The effects in the nonmainstream class equaled or surpassedthose in the mainstream classes. The authors specify the process bywhich the students incorporated a gender awareness into their personal lives and professional stance.
