Her contributions to expanding the inclusion of women in sociology go well beyond her scholarship. She champions the cause of women within and outside the discipline and around the globe; she mentors many newer gender scholars; she has served as an elected official in ASA and the Society for Women in Sociology; and received numerous awards for her scholarship and mentoring. Myra Marx Ferree is truly a scholar whose career embodies the spirit of Jessie Bernard. |
