Women's feminist collective identity: A liberal feminist analysis of feminist identification and feminist consciousness
- Date Issued:
- 1997
- Summary:
- Data from the 1992 American National Election Study are used to examine three issues: first, who is most likely to identify as a feminist; second, who is likely to show a feminist consciousness; and finally who possesses both the feminist identification and feminist consciousness that demonstrate a feminist collective identity. The results indicate that feminist identification and feminist consciousness are separate but related constructs and that overall feminist collective identity among women is weak. The findings indicate a need to make clear which dimension--feminist identification or feminist consciousness--is being used in efforts to understand women's feminist collective identity and how these three concepts interact with cohort, employment status, income, education, race, and marital status.
