The Review of Women's Studies (RWS) is a refereed journal published twice a year by the University of the Philippines Center for Women's and Gender Studies (UPCWGS).
The journal serves as a forum where ideas on issues and concerns affecting the lives of women, seen from the analytical perspectives of different disciplines, may be exchanged. Works that critically explore the myriad experiences of Filipino women and problematize gender relations in Philippine society are welcome. The RWS encourages and seeks to publish: (a) research papers that employ feminist methodologies and that adhere to the principles of feminist research, bearing in mind the intersectionality of gender, class, religion, age, and education; (b) reviews of current scholarship (local or foreign); and (c) creative works (poems, short fiction, essays, and artworks) that provide insights into women’s consciousness and give life to their hopes and dreams.
The RWS follows the double-blind peer review process.
