Feminist Storytelling: Representing the Stories of Diverse Women in Psychology

Abstract In this special issue, we utilize feminist storytelling to highlight the experiences of diverse female psychologists. While women comprise most of the field, nonwhite women are notably underrepresented. To capture their unique accounts, 12 contributors shared their professional experiences, from which we generate recommendations on how to diversify psychology to include women of color and other underrepresented groups. This introduction frames the goals of the special issue to discuss feminist storytelling, feminism, power, authenticity, and mentorship. By including the voices of women representing a wide spectrum of identities, we hope to capture a unique blend of accounts otherwise untold.
