When they refer to women being  ‘written out’ of sociology’s history it “suggests that it has been seen in presence but has been erased from the record” (S.O. pg 10) This happened because although the men and women worked together forming a basis for sociology women were not seen as authority figures and were not taken seriously; men took credit for the woman’s work so people would take what was said seriously. Both the sociology women and men founders had the same basis in common. They worked together, but only the men were being taken seriously, the women with the career were not. In recognizing the contribution of the women founders we could finally understand who really found things and would be able to give credit to founded the theory.
