Abstract
This article explores intersections between research on personal and social relationships, on the one hand, and feminist study, on the other. Focused on the means and effects of social constructions of gender, feminist enquiry clarifies how gender affects interaction processes and participants' and researchers' interpretations of them. This article outlines key facets of feminist scholarship and shows how they complement, extend and revise research on relationships.Keywords
