This is an important and timely text that provides a unique
overview of contemporary quantitative approaches to gender
research. The contributors are internationally recognised
researchers from the UK, USA and Sweden who occupy a range of
disciplinary locations, including historical demography, sociology
and policy studies. Their research includes explorations of
heterosexual and same sex violence, media responses to feminist
research, data sources for the study of equalities, approaches for
analysing global and local demographic change and intersectional
concerns in respect of work and employment. Through detailed,
sophisticated and thoughtful considerations of the place of
quantification within gender studies, and the place of feminist
approaches to quantification, each contributor overturns the
stereotype that quantitative research is antithetical to feminism
by demonstrating its importance for challenging continuing global
inequalities associated with gendered outcomes. An introductory
chapter illustrates the significance of geography and discipline in
the take-up of methodological preferences. Feminism Counts:
Quantitative Methods and Researching Gender makes an important
contribution to the ways in which feminists respond to contemporary
methodological and interdisciplinary challenges, and is essential
reading for all research students in gender studies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the International
Journal of Social Research Methodology.
