Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, I discuss the current state of U.S. women�s movement research. I begin by redefining women�s movements, pointing out that multiple women�s movements exist and that it is important to study the less recognized women�s movements. Second, I examine what we know about the long term political development of women�s movements, and how they have influenced American political development. A third section explores our knowledge of women�s movements focusing on recent research that shows activism occurring at multiple levels and in a variety of arenas. Finally, I focus on what we know about how U.S. women�s movements influence social change. In all of these sections, I discuss how women�s movement research has contributed to the larger field of social movement research, specifically through its focus on gendered institutions and culture, and through its recognition of the intersecting nature of traditional social movement concepts. I conclude with suggestions for further research.
