Abstract
This article reports on an investigation of the nature and extent of the interaction of feminism with social work education. The study tested two hypotheses: that social work educators' views of problems that affect women vary by the degree and by the type of their feminist identification. Although the findings supported both hypotheses, differences were not evident for all problems. Therefore, the findings provide a basis for a discussion of the problems that differentiate feminists from nonfeminists and liberal, socialist, and radical femi nists from each other. Implications for social work education and issues for further research are identified.Keywords
