Abstrakt: The goal of this essay is twofold: to introduce the eight contributions to this roundtable issue and to place them in the context of international and comparative research on gender equality machineries (GEMs) and state feminism in the twenty-first century and to present the overall agenda for state feminism research in the future that is suggested by these contributions. We first show how the roundtable effort came out of this journal's connections to the American Political Science Association's Partner Group on French Politics and the scholarly rationale for the structure of the roundtable. Next, we take a deeper dive into the role and evolution of gender equality machineries, also referred to as women's policy agencies and institutional mechanisms for gender equality. The third section presents how the concept of state feminism has been developed as an object of study in the international research community. It is followed by a discussion of French work on state feminism. We end the essay with a reflection about the research themes, agenda, and next steps suggested by this collection of eight articles.
