Items related to Women's Realities, Women's Choices: An Introduction...
The publication of Women's Realities, Women's Choices-- the first interdisciplinary text for an introductory course in women's studies--marks the coming of age of the field of women's studies. The result of a collective effort to devise a course that transcends the traditional academic boundaries, this text is completely interdisciplinary in approach. It incorporates research from all the major disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, medicine, and political science; covers the development of women from the classical period to the present day; and provides an accessible, scholarly text for the field of women's studies. While the central goal of this text is to introduce students to the research and theories that are of current interest to women's studies scholars, the text also addresses a wide range of controversial topics relating to sexism, such as racism, homophobia, and class conflict.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. This introductory text challenges the reader to examine the ways in which we learn about women as well as the social and historical conditions that have shaped women's lives. Students are introduced to the research and theories that are of current interest, and the book also addresses a wide range of controversial topics with day-to-day ramifications for women, such as racism, class conflict, fear of homosexuality, and ethnic and age discrimination. It examines women in three contexts: as individuals, as family members, and as a force in the greater social framework. Readership: women's studies, students,teachers, and researchers; sociologists. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Seller Inventory # GOR013498363
