Women and Gender: A Feminist Psychology

Synopsis

This book is explicitly feminist in its approach. We believe that knowledge cannot ever be objective and value-free and we have chosen to consider the political implications of psychology's findings about women and gender. We also believe, however, that students should be exposed to many viewpoints to learn to think critically about them. This book includes ideas and information from a variety of perspectives. Feminism has nothing to fear from critical thinking!

Although the lives of all women (and men] are shaped by gender, all women's lives are not the same. Another of our aims in this book is to explore the ways that race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, and age modify women's experiences. We have attempted to synthesize these varying experiences throughout every chapter of the book. We explore, for example, the way they influence images of women, the socialization of girls and boys, the relationships between men and women, and the forms of psychological distress evidenced by women from different groups.
