“…Comparable trends 1 In this paper, the terms, "feminist psychology" and the "psychology of women" are used interchangeably. The understanding of both terms follows Kimball's (1986) definition of a feminist psychology of women as embodying a number of characteristics. It is nonsexist, interdisciplinary, concerned with both errors of commission and errors of omission, and reflects an awareness of the political and social implications of the research (p. 248-249).…”

To date, the historiography on women in Canadian psychology has been relatively sparse. This is especially true in relation to the much more extensive literature that documents the history of first and second generation women in American psychology. The aim of this paper is to systematically identify and analyse the personal characteristics, educational experiences, and career trajectories of first generation women psychologists in Canada. We identify this cohort as women who received their PhDs during the period 1922 to 1960. We contextualize their experiences vis-à-vis unique trends in Canadian society, paying particular attention to the common struggles faced by these women within or in reaction to the broader social, cultural, political, and institutional structures they encountered. By locating and distinguishing Canadian women in psychology, we offer an important contribution to the development of a more comprehensive history of Canadian psychology and highlight its gendered dynamics.But if I am concerned about the lack of awareness of Canadian contributions to psychological knowledge, and a general lack of awareness of the history of our discipline, I am even more concerned about the relative invisibility of our herstory. (Stark, 2000, p. 3) Written just over a decade ago, this call for increased awareness of the history of Canadian psychology and the role women have played in it is now being heeded. In this paper, we address concerns about the invisibility of our herstory by presenting the results of our systematic search for women in early Canadian psychology. In doing so, we provide a counterweight to the extensive historiography on women in American psychology that began in the 1970s and has since expanded to encompass many important historical studies (e.g.

“…This, I think, is the cause of the "first line" of the "two-front denial strategy" described by Kenrick (1.988): Denial of any and all sex differences would seem to be absolutely necessary if you felt that differences really meant feminine inferiority. And some feminists, recognizing this, have explicitly chosen to emphasize the value of some feminine characteristics such as nurturance and interpersonal sensitivity (Kahn & Jean 1983;Kimball 1986). Avoiding this pathological assumption will increase the likelihood of ideas like Jackson's (1988) and Kenrick's (1988).…”
