The estrogenic action of DDT analogs, among these methoxychlor, is discussed. Emphasis is placed on investigations of estrogenic properties of DDT derivatives, their long‐term effects on reproductive processes, and their mechanism of action. Kepone is discussed briefly as an example of another structural class of insecticides with estrogenic activity.
