Abstract: Feminist discussion has suggested that women have been 
discriminated against in journal publication, and has advocated the study 
of women and feminist topics by women, and the use of qualitative methods. 
Using data on all relevant articles, this article explores the extent to 
which the pattern of articles by British authors in the main general 
British sociology journals suggests that the women's movement has made a 
difference on these points since 1950.
