ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the question of how to develop a distance education curriculum which is relevant to women's interests and needs. As women have gradually been admitted into the academic world, they have been educated in a male intellectual tradition. Women's Studies is a rather new phenomenon and the curriculum suffers from male bias. In 1983 the British Open University presented its first Women's Studies course, The Changing Experience of Women. The course deals with issues and questions about women's position and sex differences, psychological and physical explanations of female sexuality, etc. The strategy of integration is not an easy one. Although people achieved some desired results, they are still a long way from reaching a balanced curriculum. For this reason they have reconsidered the possibility of developing special Women's Studies courses. Changing the content of the curriculum is one of the strategies for developing a more women-centred approach to distance education curriculum.
