    On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Committee of Women in Psychology, we acknowledge the leadership of the editorial team of Feminism & Psychology, an international, feminist, peer-reviewed journal for encouraging, supporting and showcasing cutting-edge and transformative feminist theory and research. Feminism & Psychology has provided a forum for critical, radical and provocative feminist scholarship that serves as an impetus for social change, and for theoretical and methodological innovations in feminist psychology. Feminism & Psychology has contributed to the transformation of psychology, has helped to clarify the dynamics of oppression and discrimination, and has stimulated new directions in the theories, methods, and practices of feminist psychology. We salute the editorial boards of Feminism & Psychology, who, since the journal’s inception, have truly been leaders for women in psychology.
