Description

  • The ONLY Psychology of Women textbook that embeds a chronological approach within each topical chapter.
  • More up-to-date scholarship than other texts.
  • Coverage reflects current scientific and social developments, including over 2100 new references with half from 2010 to the present.
  • A new "What You Can Do" boxed feature in each chapter provides students with applied activities that promote a more egalitarian society.
  • New focus on women’s intersecting identities, now one of the organizing themes of the book.
  • Coverage of women in the middle and later years and women with disabilities is far more extensive than in any other textbook in the field, and is integrated into each chapter.
