Abstract
Based on the conviction that communication cannot be thoroughly analyzed and theorized without taking into account feminist ideologies, this article focuses on the investigation of and the search for feminist communication studies. An overview of the status of the feminist contribution to the field will be followed and exemplified by a more specific analysis of the articles centered on feminist theories, which were published in the journal Critical Studies in Mass Communication. In the conclusion, the author provides a reflection on the ways in which the collaboration of communication and feminist studies can become an indispensable tool for the analysis of social and cultural practices as expressions of concretely lived experiences.Keywords
