To say that women have been “written out” of sociology’s history means that women were unrecognized throughout sociological history. Women at the time of their findings were taken seriously and the majority of them were seen as public figures. They were once seen as a presence in a community and then they were erased from records, as though they never did any research or had any findings. All of sociology’s women founders had several things in common. They all published books,  founded theories and studies. The Hull House was the working base of most of Chicago’s women and it was visited by all of the women of sociology.  These women all contributed to the theories and studies of sociology and they should be recognized for that and given credit.  Sexism was a very large part to the reasoning of women getting “written out” of sociology’s history. Society needs to become equal with men and women, which is why the women sociologists needs to be recognized.
