Abstract
This article updates a previous content analysis of abstracts published in 17 social work journals from 1988 to 1997, which responded to the search words women and social work. Comparisons include the number of articles per journal, women’s social identities, themes and curricular areas, authors' analytical methods, and the amount and degree of feminist content. The findings revealed a decrease in both women’s and feminist content. Mothers/caregivers, medical/mental health patients, and battered women continued to be the most frequent referents. Health, mental health, and violence prevailed in themes, casework/human behavior and the social environment and social policy dominated curricular areas, and empirical articles topped the analytic category.
