Abstract

Women’s studies is an interdisciplinary field that had continued to evolve since it was introduced to academic spaces in the ‘70s. Feminist psychology unites the psychology of women and the psychological study of women’s social issues. Using community structure of the scholarship of the journals Psychology of Women Quarterly (PWQ) and Feminism & Psychology, we examine and seek to understand the empirical structure of feminist psychology. An analysis of these two journals by decade will help determine whether the scholarship of feminist psychology has changed as much as women’s studies. In doing so, one can also address the question of how psychological is women’s studies (and vice versa).
