To say that woman have been “written out” of sociology’s history means that they were acknowledged by their peers at the time but their accomplishments seemed to be erased from record. I believe this is due to the fact that although their findings were just as intellectual as the men’s, they were still not entirely accepted by society due to gender, class, and race. The founding women sociologists all concentrated, understandably, on women’s studies; the effects women had on society in many different aspects of life. I believe that this was instrumental in the study of sociology considering that women, just as importantly as men, play such an vital role. I believe that it is extremely important that we recognize the contributions of sociology’s women founders because it is a large part of the history of sociology. Also these women studied significant issues which are just as valuable as the men’s studies and should not go unnoticed. Lastly, I would like to point out that the fact that these women were “written out” of sociology’s history shows that during those times there was such an enormous bias against women, that in itself is something that needs to be recognized when studying sociology today.
