      Maria Garcia traces the early days of women's studies as discipline to the late 1960s. But by the end of the 1990's these departments has "spread like wildfire" (30). By this time hundreds of programs were underway, but the discipline was moving in the direction of gender as a framing concept (31-2)At least 298 programs existed in 1998 (Statistical Report, 2). Gender studies was the wave of the 2000s, and some friction was evident by this time (Garcia, 33).
