Feminism is the system of ideas and political practices based on the principle that women are human beings equal to men. Feminism may be the most wide‐ranging social movement in history, effecting change in the institutions, stratificational practices, and culture of nearly all societies. Its impact on sociology is the focus here. A study of this impact shows that sociology as an intellectual discipline and as a professional organization is itself deeply gendered, located in and affected by the society it attempts to study, and that its gendered character changes only in response to changes in the gender dynamics within society – changes in part produced by the action of feminist sociologists
