In doing so, it develops a growing body of work concerned with the relationships women forge to feminism’s pasts, presents and futures, with a distinct focus on the stories feminist women tell about their lives. It will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, psychosocial studies, gender studies, women's studies and cultural studies.Citizenship, Gender and DiversitySociologyFeminist theoryPersonalitySocial psychologySocial groupsFamilyHistoriographySelfIdentity (Psychology)Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Feminismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030Personality and Social Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050Sociology of Family, Youth and Aginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22080Historiography and Methodhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711000Self and Identityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150Sociology.Feminist theory.Personality.Social psychology.Social groups.Family.Historiography.Self.Identity (Psychology).Gender Studies.Feminism.Personality and Social Psychology.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Historiography and Method.Self and Identity.305.3Guest Carlyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061551BOOK9910253344303321Becoming Feminist2519190UNINA
