Summary:This article explores the deployment of triangulation in the service of uncovering subjugated knowledge and promoting social change for women and other oppressed groups. Feminist approaches to mixed methods praxis create a tight link between the research problem and the research design. An analysis of selected case studies of feminist praxis explores the specific reasons feminist researchers employ triangulation, and the strengths and weaknesses they encountered in the process of implementing a mixed methods design.
