JO DEEGAN, MARY. EARLY WOMEN SOCIOLOGIST AND THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY: THE PATTERNS OF EXCLUSION AND PARTICIPATION. CS [online]. 2012, n.10, pp.313-337. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i10.1362.

American sociology owes a significant debt to early women professionals. Although discriminated against as full colleagues, they nonetheless contributed to sociological thought and participated in professional activities. Evidence of both the barriers and opportunities affecting these early female leaders is found in the records of the American Sociological Society during its founding years; i.e., from 1906-1931. Analysis of this information, as well as personal documents of sociologists working during this period, reveals that women did participate within a restricted range of 'expertise', often associated with traditional sex roles. Jane Addams was a significant figure in these early years and was a leader within the separate, more institutionally limited female sociologist's network.
