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?

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."
