  5. Feminist research generally:
  • attempts to acknowledge, respect and give voice to the totality of women's experience;

  • looks for ways to integrate analysis of women's experience within the private world of the home with experience in the public sphere of the wage economy;

  • attempts to synthesize, rather than fragment women's experience through the research process by, for example breaking down traditional divisions between theory and practice;

  • recognizes that all research reflects certain interests and values and therefore makes it a public part of the research effort to state as clearly as possible what those interests and values are;

  • is action-oriented and is directed toward providing support for efforts to move society toward greater equality and less violence;

  • attempts to make its products accessible to a non-expert audience.
