Concept information
Preferred term
femocrat
Definition
- A contraction of “feminist” and “bureaucrat,” the title femocrat originated in Australia in 1981 to describe a new generation of feminist policymakers who sought to address feminist concerns about issues such as pay equity, violence against women, and sexual harassment. Though some scholars argue that the conditions that enabled the proliferation of femocrats only exist in Australia and the Scandinavian countries, others maintain that though the term (if not the concept) originated in Australia, it has successfully migrated to a wide range of countries.
