Voices of Feminist Therapy
Feminist therapy was created in the late 1960s, concurrent with the founding of The Association for Women in Psychology.

One response reifies the category "women," representing the experience of oppression of privileged women as archetypal for feminism, and the other denies the category because it unjustly overgeneralizes, thus undercutting the possibility of a robust theory of gender oppression.
