About this title

Synopsis

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.
