Synopsis

Well-grounded in current research, Women and Gender describes how psychology is continuously transformed by a gender-sensitive and women-centered approach. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and redesigned with 14 chapters. A new first chapter sets the tone for the entire book by linking gender differences to deeper issues of privilege, oppression, and power. A new Chapter 10 looks at women's bodies and appearance. As with the two previous editions, Women and Gender encourages readers to draw on research, theory, and personal experience to enhance their understanding of how biology, socialization, personality, and social contexts combine to influence the identities of women and men. Emphasizing the true diversity of women, Women and Gender also includes coverage of personal identity, race and ethnicity, (dis)ability, sexual orientation, age, and socioeconomic class.
