Abstract
This article presents the argument that psychology departments need to continue to increase their efforts to develop separate courses on the psychology of women as a catalyst to mobilize resources for the more difficult task of mainstreaming this new research into the rest of the curriculum. Major topics include: historical perspective on women in the curriculum, documentation of the growing legitimacy of a separate psychology of women, current statistics on departments offering psychology of women courses, an examination of mainstreaming, and demonstration of the value of a separate psychology of women course. Finally, the article describes resources that faculty can use to support their efforts to develop and expand the psychology of women course.
