Sociologists for Women in Society  

Definition

  • Founded in 1971, Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) is a U.S.-based, international, nonprofit scientific and educational organization of more than 1,000 social scientists. It emerged from the hard work of the women sociologists who walked out of the 1969 American Sociological Association (ASA) meetings and organized, publicized concerns about the status of women in sociology and in society in general, and demanded and instituted change.
