N2  - Women have made great strides in acquiring some of the goals of obtaining civil and legal rights. In this article I review progress, identify indicators of a backlash, and suggest strategies for continuing the movement. Examples of feminist scholarship that may add to a leveling of the playing field in all areas of life for women are included. Psychologists are encouraged to continue to contribute to the mobilization of resources in psychology to affect public policy. Recommendations to continue research in the areas such as affirmative action and other strategies to ameliorate prejudice and discrimination are suggested.<p />
