“…Others contextualized women's bodies and health within larger policy structures, such as access to care (Filiano 2001; Gunewardena 2005). Attention to the unique potential of a feminist‐informed ethnographic methodology to redress women's health issues is also found in articles about adolescent mothers, whose bodies are the site of the contested terrains of racial politics and neoliberal political economy ideologies (Rodriguez 2008; Silver 2008).…”

This article examines Voices: A Publication of the Association for Feminist Anthropology as a collection of feminist anthropology articles, arguing that an analysis of Voices represents an interrogation of feminist anthropology in general. Voices was a transformative publication for many in feminist anthropology-somewhat subversive (not peer-reviewed!), a dedicated space for straightforward truth speaking over time, a space for an alignment of the personal and the political, and the location for setting feminist anthropology agendas. Using a grounded theory framework, 138 articles across seventeen issues (509 pages) were analyzed to identify thematic trends and chronological shifts through time. The grounded theory analysis revealed that the most frequently appearing themes include inclusivity and diversity, women's bodies, teaching and mentoring, and policy. While the first two themes maintained or increased in prominence over time, the themes of teaching and mentoring and policy decreased in Voices contributions through time. Thus, what is stunning and alarming in the Voices data is the shift away from the practice and application of feminist anthropology. Therefore, the future of feminist anthropology must include fierce protection for the practice and application of feminist anthropology, which is vital to the discipline and to our efforts to improve the human condition.
