TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Conceptualizing feminism: Clarifying social science concepts JO - Evaluation and program planning A1 - Linton, Rhoda SP - 25 EP - 29 VL - 12 IS - 1 N2 - This paper describes the use of structured conceptualization to develop a framework for understanding the concept of feminism. Ideas were brainstormed by 84 self-defined feminists and 150 of these ideas were randomly selected from the 710 which were contributed. Two other groups of self-defined feminists (total n = 34) conducted an unstructured sort of the ideas and the sort information was analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis to produce a concept map. The map which resulted is described and some of the advantages of using this method are considered.
