Abstract: Feminism has revolutionized family studies. This article traces the impact of feminism on the family field in the last quarter of the twentieth century, focusing on (1) academic representations of the family before feminism; (2) second-wave feminism's unmasking of the gender-structured family; (3) how feminist pluralism enlarged the family field; (4) current feminist debates on family diversity and change; and (5) connections between feminist scholarship on the family and public policy.
