Irene Levin's review of Women Voicing Resistance: Discursive and Narrative Explanations
Irene Levin's review of <em>Women Voicing Resistance: Discursive and Narrative Explanations </em>published in the September 2015 issue of JFTR is glowing, to say the least. She describes Suzanne McKenzie-Mohr and Michelle Lafrance's edited volume as focusing on "individual, social, and political influences shaping what women can do with stories and the consequences of those stories for their lives. At its core, this book is about women's attempts to restory or counterstory their lives when prevailing discourses and dominant narratives are unhelpful or even harmful."

Is self-doubt good or bad for feminist scholars?
We find it troubling that, after years of feminist contributions to the field of family studies, so many scholars may feel that they are "feminist frauds. Why do we continue to ask ourselves whether our work is "feminist enough?

Feminist efforts will remain incomplete unless feminist family scholars resist the dynamics of a neoliberal landscape and engage in effective social justice projects with the goal of betterment of all people.

Book Review Alison J.Chrisler: Humanizing Research
Alison J. Chrisler writes an excellent review of thebook, Humanizing Research: Decolonizing Qualitative Inquiry With Youth and Communities,highlighting the difficulties of conducting research with vulnerable participants. She write, "Far too often, researchers "take" the lived experiences of participants with little concern about what the individuals in their studies will receive in return" (Chrisler, 2015, p. 333). This lack of attention given to the participant's well-being becomes increasingly problematic as many studies focus on intrusive topics of marginalized groups.
