Résumé anglais Johanna Brenner and Nancy Holmstrom, Feminism and the left in the United States Feminism has had a profound impact on the US left. That women ought to be included in leadership at all organizational levels, that « women's issues » must be part of the programmatic agenda and that feminist organizations must be part of any effort at coalition, is widely accepted. On the other hand, feminist modes of organization are reflected in the left wing of the ecology, peace and anti-nuclear movements but not elsewhere. Most men on the left regard feminist theory as appropriate to women's issues but not to the « central » questions : political economy, theory of the state, etc. Despite general agreement that women ought to be included in the discussion of any issue, in practice men's experience tends to predominate. Still, while feminist demands for change might be quietly ignored or overwhelmed by inertia, they have gained a certain legitimacy and can no longer be explicitly dismissed.
