Integrating Women's Studies with any curriculum, political science or otherwise, is a formidable task. And like most changes in curriculum, the integration of Women's Studies material has not come about in orderly fashion. There are some dimensions to Women's Studies integration, however, that set it apart from other curriculum change.The thrust of Women's Studies vis a vis any discipline is to revise and reinterpret that discipline from a feminist perspective. Feminist philosophy has argued that traditional methodologies, theories, and manifest analyses have contained a patriarchal bias which has excluded the impact of women from the intellectual evolution of humankind. Thus, on the discipline and on the academy itself, the very premise of Women's Studies makes demands which are far-reaching and threatening to establishment doctrine.

Against Anne Norton, it is argued that political science and history are good neighbours. Instances are given to show that the two disciplines need each other, both in political thought and in comparative government. Political scientists need historians to help understand important but improbable events. Historians need political scientists to help understand sampling issues and statistical methodology.

One of the methods used by state supreme courts in making & justifying decisions is citation, favorable or unfavorable, of the decisions of other state supreme courts. Such citations can be used to generate a simple & general measure of judicial reputation. A count of all such citations made during 1975 by the 50 state supreme courts & the DC Court of Appeals is used to compute reputational scores for these 51 courts. These are compared with reputational scores for 1920 computed by Rodney Mott ("Judicial Influence," American Political Science Review, 1936, 30, 295-315). An examination of various explanations for judicial prestige suggests that the factors of social diversity, judicial professionalism, political ideology, & size of case load largely explain state supreme court reputations. 2 Tables, 4 Figures, 57 References.
