Abstract

Feminist theories provide a framework through which to explore interesting issues in developmental psychology, This article describes 10 feminist theories: liberal, socialist, African-American/ethnic, essentialist, existentialist, psychoanalytic, radical, postmodern, post-colonial, and cyberfeminist. The
implications of each for developmental psychology are presented. Several of these theories argue for new accounts of development that take the experiences, values, and interests of women and girls as their starting point.
