Abstract

This study sought to explore the meaning that women assign to their feminist identities and the relevancy of such identities to family therapy. In particular, this study utilized interviews from women who were active in the women’s movement in the 1970s. The data were organized into four categories: (1) working towards justice, (2) valuing self and other women, (3) women with diverse perspectives, and (4) relevancy to personal lives. The study findings provide important implications for family therapists and highlight the need to explore gender-based oppression as well as the important resource a feminist identity can be in the therapy process.
