Abstract
Sexism and androcentric narratives are well-researched and calls for critical reflexivity have been made from a feminist and women’s history perspectives in the History of Psychology. Eminent, yet invisibilised women in Psychology have been re-discovered and written back to its history, especially since the start of the women’s movements in the 1960s and 1970s. In this research I focus on recent and highly influential scholarly work. I look into patterns of referencing, citing, and presentation between female and male authors in overviews given on the History of Psychology. In my analysis, I combine qualitative and quantitative methods. Using a selection consisting of a known journal on the History of Psychology, and two publications giving an overview of work done in the History of Psychology, I illustrate that asymmetries exist in the presentation of female and male authors. Implications, limitations, and future avenues in researching this topic are discussed.
