 While feminists practiced cultural anthropology since its inception (see Margaret Mead and Hortense Powdermaker), it was not until the 1970s that feminist anthropology was formally recognized as a subdiscipline of anthropology.Since then, it has developed its own subsection of the American Anthropological Association –  the Association for Feminist Anthropology – and its own publication, "Feminist Anthropology".Their former journal "Voices" is now defunct.
