For many years, Psychology literature has shied away from examining gender issues from a critical perspective in which women’s well-being is connected to how they are treated by the structures within which they exist. While there has been a substantial literature about feminism and psychology internationally, in South Africa numerous contributions started making their way into publications in the 1990s. The notion of feminism and psychology within South Africa has been an issue for debate and reflection among feminist scholars such as de la Rey (1997), and Potgieter and de la Rey (1997) to name a few. However, despite their important work, it appears as if feminism has made little progress in South African psychology in the 20th century (see Macleod, 2004). While the space has been less than inviting, voices from the margins have continued to echo and call for spaces for those who were previously silenced. With this in mind, the present paper, which will be in the form of a conversation between two feminist psychology scholars, will look at how we continuously attempt to navigate our discipline
