This chapter aims to provide insight on the genealogies of feminist peace research, as well as to highlight some key thinkers. Since feminist contributions have been marginalised in the broader field of peace research, the chapter proposes several possible starting points for a genealogical endeavour and considers their political implications. Thereafter, it turns to a particularly productive moment in feminist peace research, broadly coinciding with the UN Decade for Women (1975–1985), when we see a veritable explosion of interest. Based on this work, the chapter then provides a sketch of important debates and open questions, also looking toward the future of feminist peace research.
