Abstract
Recent literature argues that psychology should include the distinctive and often neglected feminist perspective. McIntosh (1983) proposed five interactive phases in the development of a scholarship that incorporates the more recent and subsequent insights from the psychology of women. This article documents McIntosh's sequence of five phases by using pertinent references to the psychology of personality. The article elaborates on Phase III in which investigators study women as inherently different or deviant from men. Teachers of personality psychology should find the article helpful in recognizing other examples of the phases and in familiarizing themselves and their students with this feminist perspective.Keywords
