The Journal of Femininities is the first academic journal devoted to the study of Femininities and uniquely offers an outlet for scholarship on femininity. The Journal of Femininities cultivates and unifies the field of Femininities by publishing content that advances theories and methods in the study of femininity. The journal seeks to challenge and re-examine the taken-for-granted norms and associations of femininity and to treat Femininities as an academic discipline similar to others that focus on particular social dimensions. Articles that appear in the Journal of Femininities contribute to deeper and more complex understandings of femininity.

The Journal of Femininities publishes cutting-edge research focused on femininity. It is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality research from a variety of disciplines (e.g., sociology, psychology, gender studies, business, public health, education, political science, media studies, legal studies, family science, etc.) and is particularly supportive of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary work from feminist perspectives. The journal welcomes submissions of methodologically rigorous empirical articles, both qualitative and quantitative, as well as critical essays, theoretical papers, and book reviews. Articles published in the Journal of Femininities employ diverse methodologies to explore perceptions and constructions of femininity or to deliberately examine femininity as a framework or intersectional axis. The Journal of Femininities encourages submissions that examine femininity across intersectional axes of race, sexuality, disability, class, body size, religion, culture, or gender/sex. Please contact either editor to discuss opportunities to guest-edit a special issue or special feature.

The Journal of Femininities understands “femininity” as an often overlapping but separate construct from “woman” or “female” and thus does not treat women and femininity synonymously.

The journal will welcome the following types of submissions (in APA format). For all empirical research, the Editors-in-Chief encourage uploading a supplementary file with a more detailed methods section. Reference lists are not included in the word counts.
