Abstract
Feminists are people who are committed to the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. In the United States, feminists first organized to obtain the vote for women, a campaign that spanned more than three decades. It was during this time (the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century) that psychology emerged as an independent discipline. This entry reviews the emergence of feminism in psychology.
