Summary/Abstract: Durkheim’s perception of feminism is negative, and feminism is an unconscious movement, while gender equality is deeply primitive, dysfunctional, and unnatural. Jenifer M. Lehmann, in her work Durkheim and Women, points out that women are ghettoized in his works, although the theory of women, however, exists in a “positive” way. The aim of this paper is to present the gender dimension of Durkheim’s thought, pointing to an intersection with the theories of prominent female founders in sociology. Durkheim was influenced by thoughts on alienation and symbolic interaction of George Herbert Mead and Jane Addams, prominent contemporary American sociologists and ecological pragmatist. A professional sociologist, lecturer of sociology, Ruth S. Cavan, sister founder of sociology, wrote a PhD Suicide published in 1928, thirty-one years after Durkheim published Suicide in 1897.
