The Visibility of Feminist Thought in Family Studies
Wills, Jeremiah B.; Risman, Barbara J.
Journal of Marriage and Family, v68 n3 p690-700 Aug 2006
We assessed feminist visibility in family journals by tallying the feminist content of articles in "Journal of Marriage and Family," "Journal of Family Issues," and "Family Relations." There was an increase in feminist visibility from 1972 to 1992, at which point the growth of visibility stalled. From 1992 to 2002, almost 1 out of 4 articles appeared to be influenced, at least minimally, by feminist scholarship when including in our tally a measure of articles' mentioning of gender in its abstract or title without a detectable feminist perspective in the article. Only about 6% of articles, however, involved an explicit feminist analysis. We offer explanations for this apparent glass ceiling for feminist visibility and make suggestions for future research.
