Abstract
This article surveys articles containing women's content that were published in 17 social work journals from 1988 to 1997. It discusses the journals in which content on women was most and least likely to appear, which social roles were most frequently used to depict women, which themes pertaining to women captured the most attention, which social work curricular areas were most frequently mentioned, and which analytical methods were used. Moreover, it determines the extent to which the articles were feminist or reflected a variation of feminism.Keywords
