Weaving a new tapestry of research: A bibliography of selected readings on feminist research methods

Abstract

Since the publication of Reinharz, Bombyk, and Wright's (1983) bibliography on feminist research methods, feminism and feminist approaches to social science have grown in the academic community. Whereas early writings focused on developing a clear, feminist critique of science, more recent work has concentrated on creating and implementing alternative research methods, as well as reconceptualizing traditional techniques. This current bibliography expands previous collections in three areas: (1) the addition of readings on women who experience multiple forms of oppression and the implications of such oppressions for research; (2) an update of writings on feminist critiques of science, feminist epistemologies, and feminist research methods; and (3) the inclusion of articles that target the specific steps of the research process and how feminist approaches can be implemented at each stage.
