The 100-year anniversary of Social Forces offers an opportunity to reflect on change and stability of sociological scholarship as featured in the pages of one of the discipline’s oldest journals. Since the first issue in 1922, much has changed in the sociological study of sex and gender in Social Forces publications. In our review of a century of publications, we find that scholarship in Social Forces has increasingly paid attention to gender as a social phenomenon, and the focus of such scholarship has evolved as gender scholars and feminist researchers developed theory moving beyond individual-level perspectives on gender and toward structural and multilevel understandings (Acker 1992; Ferree, Lorber, and Hess 1999; Lopata and Thorne 1978; Martin 2004; Risman 1998; Risman and Davis 2013). Nevertheless, many of the questions scholars posed nearly a century ago still resonate today.URL
