The primary purpose of this paper is to hig…

    Open AccessAnn R Fischer, David M Tokar et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Women Quarterly2000Cited by: 41References: 11

    Researchers have called for increasing sophistication in the assessment of women's feminist identity development (Enns & Hackett, 1990; Hackett, Enns, & Zetzer, 1992) to understand important psychological processes. This series of studies examined recent efforts to operationalize Downing and Roush's (1985) model of feminist identity development. Specifically, the psychometric properties of two existing measures—the Feminist Identity Development S…
