Origins
[edit]Gender as a subject of analysis noticeably increased in the mid-1990s in the study of international relations. At this time there was a significant focus on the ways in which conceptions of gender influenced language, policies, and processes occupying the international arena. The creation of the journal was a result of this feminist thinking building up in the areas of international politics. Key conferences that were a factor in perpetuating these ideals were the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, the 1993 World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna, and the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women.[2] At the 1996 meeting of the International Studies Association, Routledge representatives approached members of the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies section (FTGS) with the idea of a feminist journal, modeled on the recently launched journal, Feminist Economics.
The establishment of the journal was a collaborative effort headed by Jan Jindy Pettman in 1999. The editorial board was envisioned to be culturally diverse, featuring scholars in different cultural and ethnicity groups with a wide range of geographic representation.
