“…Feminist approaches create a distrust in the purposed objectivity and neutrality of science (Coney, 1994;MacPherson, 1981) and support that there can be no pure biology (Young, 1990). Feminists support the perspective that people do not live in a vacuum and people are constantly interacting with the environment (Travis, Gressley, & Crumpler, 1991). In this article, we take a feminist stance that the inadequate assessment of cancer pain does not only come from pure biology, but from continuous interactions with the environment.…”

A number of studies on cancer pain have been conducted but the researchers rarely considered gender and ethnic differences in cancer pain. In this article, nursing research on cancer pain is critiqued from a feminist perspective, and directions for future nursing research are proposed. A total of 82 nursing articles published in the United States were retrieved through MEDLINE and MELVYL data retrieval systems, and analyzed and critiqued in terms of four basic elements of research from a feminist perspective (bias as resources, dependability, credibility and adequacy, and intersubjectivity). In this article, the critique is presented with four themes that may provide reasons why nursing research on cancer pain rarely incorporated gender and ethnic differences: absence of participants' own views and experiences, androcentrism and ethnocentrism, lack of consideration on contextual factors, and distant relationships between researchers and research participants. To overcome the limitations, six critical elements including gender and ethnic sensitivity, avoidance of distorted views, respectfor participants' own views and interests, trust and openness, empowerment, and multiple methods are suggested to be incorporated in future nursing research on cancer pain.

“…Women sociologists are more likely than men to critique traditional "mainstream" social theories, to value experiential knowledge, to write data-based rather than theoretical or conceptual articles, to challenge the perspective that objectivity is possible or desirable, to work in collaborative, nonhierarchical research teams that sometimes include those who are the focus of the research, to concentrate on gender as a topic for serious sociological inquiry (and to critique the exclusion of gender in much sociological research), to use qualitative, interpretive methods more often than men do, and to advocate links between research and praxis, especially applications of research that benefit women and other disadvantaged groups. These distinctive orientations of women also have been noted in other social science disciplines, such as psychology (see, e.g., Marecek and Hare-Mustin 1991; Scarborough and Furumoto 1987;Travis, Gressley, and Crumpler 1991) and anthropology (Lutz 1990).…”

Recent revisionist scholarship on the history of sociology suggests that women scholars in the pre-World War II era made distinctive contributions to the development of the field of sociology. Most research, however, has focused on women prominent in their era, whose works might or might nor be typical of all women who published during the same periods. Furthermore, few studies have made explicit comparisons between works by women and by men writing in this same era, so it has been difficult to sort out gender effects from historical era effects. This study explores writings by women and men in the first volumes of the American Journal of Sociolog~ from 1895 through 1940. As the oldest continuously published sociology journal in the U.S., AJS played a central role in the development of American sociology. We find that women authors were present in AJS from the earliest days, though their share of authorships never was large, and fluctuated year byyear. Women's work was distinctively different from that of men, with more women than men writing empirical, evidence-based articles, focusing on women, children, immigrants, the poor, and other have-not groups, and advocating for social reform. Writings of rank-and-file and prominent women sociologists were similar in methods, content, and form, and their distinctive contributions to sociology paralleled many of the concerns of feminist sociologists today.

“…This resolution passed despite considerable opposition, and involved canceling conventions in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and New Orleans (American Psychological Association, Division of Psychology of Women, 1977). The division has also been an important advocate for APA resolutions on reproductive choice (Travis, Gressley, & Crumpler, 1991).…”

The activities of APA's Division of the Psychology of Women are traced from the origins of the Division in 1973 to the present. Division 35 evolved in response to pressures relating to the status of women in psychology as well as concerns about the content and practice of the psychology of women. The Division has fostered significant research on the psychology of women, been an important organizing base for women psychologists in their quest for visibility and influence, and provided institutional sup‐port for issues of diversity in psychology and society.
