“…With the support of the WEIU research department, several notable female sociologists collaborated on a series of social inquiries into women's and children's working conditions in the early twentieth century. The organization also collaborated with other professional associations, including the American Sociological Society, to launch large-scale social investigations of "subjects of peculiar interest" such as self-supporting women (Eaves 1920). One of the influential projects from the WEIU department of research was the nine-volume Studies in Economic Relations of Women on women's working conditions in Massachusetts, published between 1911 and1916.36 Major contributors to the study, including Susan M. Kingsbury, Marion Parris Smith, Amy Hewes, May Allinson, and Lila Ver Planck North, all of whom are absent on Wikipedia, have significant publication records and held leading positions at universities as sociologists or economists.…”

The Ladies Vanish?

Many notable female sociologists have vanished from the canonical history of American sociology. As the most influential crowd-sourced encyclopedia, Wikipedia promises – but does not necessarily deliver – a democratic corrective to the generation of knowledge, including academic knowledge. This article explores multiple mechanisms by which women either enter or disappear from the disciplinary record by analyzing the unfolding interaction between the canonical disciplinary history of sociology and Wikipedia. We argue that the uneven representation of women sociologists as (1) remembered, (2) neglected, (3) erased or, finally, (4) recovered is shaped by the emerging interactional space of knowledge production.

Women’s sociological research and writing in the AJS in the pre-World War II era

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.
