'''Feminist institutionalism''' is a [[New institutionalism|new institutionalist]] approach that looks at how gender norms operate within institutions and how institutional processes construct and maintain gender power dynamics. Feminist institutionalism focuses on how institutions are gendered and how their formal and informal rules play a part in shaping political life.{{Cite journal|last=Kenny|first=Meryl|year=2014|title=A Feminist Institutionalist Approach|journal=Government and Opposition|volume=10|issue=4|pages=679–684|doi=10.1017/s1743923x14000488|s2cid=145257135 }} It offers a new way of interpreting the formation of institutions that goes beyond traditional views by accounting for the gendered stigma and gendered outcomes that comes with institutions. As a result, feminist institutionalism is changing the face of various institutions by providing awareness into their very own dynamics of inclusion and exclusion.{{Cite journal|last1=Mackay|first1=Fiona|last2=Chappell|first2=Louise|author-link2=Louise Chappell|year=2010|title=New Institutionalism Through a Gender Lens: Towards a Feminist Institutionalism?|url=http://journals1.scholarsportal.info.subzero.lib.uoguelph.ca/details/01925121/v31i0005/573_nitagltafi.xml|journal=International Political Science Review|volume=31|issue=5|pages=573–588|doi=10.1177/0192512110388788|hdl=20.500.11820/00abf5e5-a3e9-422e-b615-10a6af4d2b60|s2cid=145488074 |hdl-access=free}} |

Feminist institutionalism touches upon all areas involved in the construction of institutions and has a direct effect on things such as policies, legislations, laws and/or quotas, and many more. Gender plays an important role in this process by impacting both power relations and social interactions, because it is through the understanding of gender that individuals classify and rate masculinity and [[femininity]] throughout various institutions. This form of new institutionalism plays an active role from within, seeking to alter the ways in which it operates and how it is institutionally framed by having an influence on its policies and outcomes.{{Cite book|last=Waylen|first=Georgina|author-link=Georgina Waylen|year=2007|title=Engendering Transitions |
