  • Assessing the Feminist Revolution: the Presence and Absence of Gender in Theory and Practice
    Assessing the feminist revolution: The presence and absence of gender in theory and practice. Myra Marx Ferree Shamus Khan Shauna A. Morimoto University of Wisconsin-Madison Forthcoming in Craig Calhoun (ed), 2006. History of Sociology in America: ASA Centennial Volume. University of Chicago Press Revised June 28, 2005 We offer our heart-felt thanks for the thought-proving input and useful comments provided by Chris Bose, Craig Calhoun, Paula England, Lowell Hargens, Jerry Jacobs, Judith Lorber, Patricia Yancey Martin, Joya Misra, Cameron Macdonald, Patricia Roos and Sylvia Walby. Abstract In 1972 a small group of sociologists sat-in at the all-male bar in the hotel hosting the ASA annual meeting, dramatically symbolizing their challenge to women’s marginalization by the discipline of sociology.. Since then, sociology has changed to include more women in its leading departments and core organizations as well as among graduate students and faculty. In addition, the study of gender has not only become more legitimate and visible, but has changed qualitatively. We assess the quantitative trends and critical turning points in this story of increasing inclusion. We also point to parts of the picture that raise doubts about how fully successful this mainstreaming process has been, especially in relation to entrenched practices that place women at the margins of the discipline. We look especially at the extent to which new approaches to gender have entered the journals and the degree to which the issue of gender is equated with women alone. Assessing the feminist revolution: the presence and absence of gender in theory and practice.
