Summary Thirty-one French-Canadian females identified as feminists, 31 identified as nonfeminists, and 31 French-Canadian males participated in a study exploring the relationship between feminism and self-esteem. The subjects' feminist orientation was assessed by means of the Sex Role Ideology Scale, while their level of self-esteem was measured by the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale. For both measures a French version was used. Results of a one-way analysis of variance disclosed that feminists and males reported higher levels of self-esteem than nonfeminists. No difference was found between feminists and males. Since the subjects of the three groups could not be matched for age and years of education, intercorrelations among these variables, the feminism scores, and the self-esteem scores were computed for the feminists and nonfeminists combined and for the males separately, in order to be able to speculate about the possible effect this may have had on the outcome of this investigation.
