Abstract
Growing from challenges to dominant, masculine thinking and action for social change for women, feminism offered frameworks for practice and research. Social work's unique relationship to women as the majority of its workforce and as clients fits well with evolutions in feminist thought. Key debates within feminism are echoed in debates within social work, including challenges to traditional research modalities, views of the domestic sphere, conceptualisations of ethics and ideas of the self-aware researcher. This article provides an overview of what feminist social work research is, how it is informed by feminist theories and research methodologies.
