Abstract
The field of psychology has long enjoyed an internal debate about women (Crawford & Marecek, 1988; Hare-Mustin & Marecek, 1987). Traditionally, we have been the objects of these conversations, however, and not their subjects. With due respect to our foremothers, feminist psychologies have developed institutionally only over the past two decades. Now generating critique, reclaiming the topics of girls and women, and creating novel methods for exploring gender as noun and verb (Unger, 1983; West & Zimmerman, 1987), this work is rich and interdisciplinary, but not always recognizable as psychology.
