Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the content on women from the social science and social work literature that needs to be incorporated into the social work curriculum to eliminate sexist content and to provide a substantive and nonsexist knowledge base concerning women. The body of knowledge reviewed includes the literature that identifies the influence of sexism on established theory and research. Also, the paper highlights literature concerning the effects of sexism on social workers, on social welfare policy and services, and on social work practice.
