Abstract
Many teachers of the history of psychology course make women invisible, despite women's participation in and contribution to the discipline. The limited coverage of women in textbooks and the tendency to teach the course as history of ideas contribute to this neglect. This article argues for the inclusion of the experience of psychologists of both genders in the history course and provides suggestions for ways of integrating material about women.Keywords
