Abstract
This study seeks to explicate the processes through which
feminist analyses and perspectives were during the early
1970s incorporated into undergraduate sociology degree
programmes. The narrative it presents is based on data
produced through semi-structured interviews with sixteen
women sociologists whose political and professional
biographies identify them more or less closely with these
events, and on evidence obtained from a range of
documentary and other secondary sources. I argue that
feminism's curricular achievements may be understood as
outcomes both of developments within the feminist public
sphere and the institutionalised discipline of sociology
and of struggles concerning the definition and structure
of the 1970s sociological field. Only when attention is
directed towards the social relations of academic
production and the broader political, institutional and
intellectual contexts in which these are located does the
challenge of feminist sociology become fully apparent.
