Abstract

This article examines the role "in-house" victim advocates have played in the struggle to curb violence against women on college campuses. It uses the case study model to place the discussion about feminist strategies in higher education within a larger, historical context of second-wave feminist movements and negotiations between grassroots protest movements and institutional powers. The article analyzes both the new opportunities that the campus feminist movement has opened for women and how it falls short of its original goals and suggests "feminist survival strategies" in the post-second wave U.S. context.
