.Women in sociology have shaped and changed the development of
their field. This volume documents the major outlines of their work
and profound impact from 1840 to 1990. The expertise and influence
of these women are of such magnitude that it should have been
impossible to forget or neglect them in the discipline of
sociology--yet far too often their connections to sociology and to
sociological labor have been buried. This unique reference book on
female sociologists can answer a number of questions about them:
Who were, or are, the female founders in sociology? Where were they
born and when? What were their most important writings? What were
their major accomplishments? How have they been honored? What are
their connections to the discipline of sociology?
These founding sisters worked in all specialities: e.g., aging,
conflict resolution, criminology, demography, marriage and the
family, race relations, research methods, social psychology,
theory, and women. These women transcended narrow definitions of
sociological thought and practice. Thus, scholars in disciplines
other than sociology, including American studies, criminology,
economics, history, literature, political science, law, psychology,
social psychology, social work, women's studies, and urban studies,
will find this volume of significant interest.
