| Abstract | This paper discusses efforts to establish the value of gendered innovations in social science disciplines. It examines the extent to which feminist and gender research has permeated mainstream social science and been recognized for its contributions. A range of evidence is reviewed, including gender gaps in editorial boards, citations of feminist work, and case studies of individual disciplines. Findings indicate feminist research has strongly influenced sociology and history, with more modest impacts in political science and international relations, and minimal influence in economics and philosophy. Barriers include lack of disciplinary openness, dominant paradigms that exclude gender perspectives, and devaluation of feminist knowledge claims. The authors argue greater acknowledgment of gendered innovations could reduce gender inequalities in academia and enhance social scientific understanding.
