Abstract

The article explores the relationship between the three labels of feminist political psychologist from the perspective of the author. It interweaves personal narrative with case studies to illustrate how these three concepts are intricately bound together. In order to pursue research in political psychology gender can not be ignored as a central category in the way social, economic and political life are organized. Furthermore for the author Feminism is connected to a political understanding of the world.
