Abstract
The Council on Social Work Education has mandated that special efforts be made to incorporate material on women into the curriculum of schools of social work. The implications of this for research courses have been unclear, since research generally has been presented as a value-free and objective methodology. However, this paper maintains that sexual bias extends Just as surely to research as it does to other areas of the social work curriculum. Some of the specific ways in which that bias has affected the conduct and teaching of research are examined. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations that would facilitate the integration of the women's perspective into the social work research process.
