“…Montague and Hollingworth (32) found no tendency for sex differences in variability for seven measurements made on 2000 newborn infants. The measurements of the Iowa Child Welfare Research Station (26,27) from one month through six years show no consistent sex differences in variation, with the possible exceptions of weight and hip width in the later ages.…”

“…She decided to study infants as she reasoned they were free from environmental conditions that could account for variability differences (Benjamin, 1975). Her results concluded that there was no difference in variation between male and female infants (Montague & Hollingworth, 1914). From these studies, Hollingworth argued that the social sciences needed to abandon biological theories which argued the causes of female non achievement and instead objectively examine impediments to women's success .…”

This article reviews the history of women psychologists' contributions to social issues research. The first part describes the work of a few remarkable women in the early part of the century whose scientific participation and feminist orientations were equally unusual. It then focuses on the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), which was founded in 1937, and traces the various stages of women's participation in it, beginning with its essentially all male leadership for over 20 years (with a few notable exceptions), through the flurry of short-lived feminist concerns after World War II, to the dramatic upsurge of female leadership and scholarship of the past two decades. Some potential reasons for the 20-year hiatus between postwar feminist interests and similar concerns in the late 1960s are discussed.
