The academic and intellectual validity of women&#8217;s studies and gender studies was recognised because of the research done by early feminists. Research and studies on women before the seventies were scarce but researchers who welcomed international changes achieved by the global women&#8217;s movement were prepared to work to localise the need to elevate the position of women in society.<br \/>\nPublic universities were also urged to look into ways of contributing towards uplifting the status of women. The article outlines the history of the institutionalisation of gender studies and its profile since its inception at the University of Malaya.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Speaker<\/strong>:<br \/>\nAssociate Professor of Gender Studies at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya.
