Feminist Sociology

One of an ongoing series emphasizing the place of Britain in the development of contemporary sociology, this exploration of feminist sociology penned by Delamont (sociology, Cardiff U., UK) concentrates on the interrelations between feminist sociologies and the "malestream" of the discipline and the diversity within feminist sociology. She discusses the historical origins of the competing schools, examines a range of empirical and methodological achievements, explores methodological and theoretical debates, and speculates on the future of the field.
