Concerns were voiced by the American Sociological Society in 1984 about the small numbers of tenured women in sociology departments throughout the United States. A guideline for remedying this deficit was established and in 1990 the situation was reevaluated to see if the proposed guidelines had been effective. The following article investigates the situation at the University of Kansas from its inception to the present day. Included in the article is a biographical sketch of the first female professor in the Sociology Department at the University of Kansas: Mabel A. Elliott.
