Women on the Web Blog The EJWS is primarily an academic journal and as such the material which we publish emerges from academic disciplines and debates. But we are all very much aware that as important as academic controversy is, and as committed as we are to articulating women's voices in the academy, there are other battles and debates in other areas of women's lives which are at least as important. Academic feminism has always been 'political' in the sense that it has challenged reconceptions about the relationship of gender to knowledge but we are all also interested in other politics, the politics of the social world as a whole. For this reason we wish to open up a space on our web site for contributions from women engaged in those 'other' politics, be they the politics of particular situations or of particular campaigns. At a time when women have been used as part of an Anglo-American justification for intervention in the politics of other nation states we think that it is crucial that women themselves control, or indeed contest, dominant political agendas. We would like to talk about ideas about women and politics, the relationship of women to political power, the different impact of politics on women and men and those many contexts where women are central to a political rhetoric yet marginal to its construction.
