ABSTRACT
SUMMARY. Four psychologists, two “older” faculty members and two “younger” students, met to discuss their perspectives on contemporary feminism. The dialogue was intended to give the older feminists an opportunity to listen to their younger colleagues. A consciousness-raising group format with some planned questions was used. The report focuses on the younger women’s thoughts and experiences. Among the topics touched on are: stereotypes of feminism, divisions among feminists, women’s sexuality, political activism, sexual harassment, speaking out in graduate school, feminism in popular culture, and collaboration among feminists. The younger feminists articulated the need for more mentoring and support and questioned whether older feminists have been willing to see the goals and values of feminism adapted to keep pace with ever-changing societal contexts.
