Feminisms and Social Work in the United States: An Intertwined History

Feminisms and Social Work in the United States: An Intertwined History This article explores the interlocking historical trajectories of feminisms and the social work profession in the United States. Bringing these two histories together, the article examines the ideas, practices, and people that have shaped the complicated organism that is ‘‘feminist social work,’’ from the civic involvement of 19th- and early 20th-century women to 21st-century efforts to craft more global, fluid, and inclusive feminist theories and practices. Structured around the three ‘‘waves’’ of feminist activism and theory building, it focuses in particular on changes and continuities in U.S. feminist social work theorizing. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work SAGE

Abstract

This article explores the interlocking historical trajectories of feminisms and the social work profession in the United States. Bringing these two histories together, the article examines the ideas, practices, and people that have shaped the complicated organism that is ‘‘feminist social work,’’ from the civic involvement of 19th- and early 20th-century women to 21st-century efforts to craft more global, fluid, and inclusive feminist theories and practices. Structured around the three ‘‘waves’’ of feminist activism and theory building, it focuses in particular on changes and continuities in U.S. feminist social work theorizing.
