Women And Gender (Fourth Edition): Making A Difference
by Janice D. YoderIn this fourth edition, Jan Yoder's Women and Gender takes clear aim at its goals for social justice by striving to make a difference in the personal lives and relationships of readers, to make a difference to the scholarship of psychology, and to make a difference through the activism that connects the personal with the political. <p><p> This updated edition draws on the 2007 Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Girls and Women to examine feminist therapy theory and captures the richness of new research throughout, especially in the burgeoning research areas of hormonal influences on behavior, ambivalent sexism, and body objectification. <p> As with the previous editions, Women and Gender remains sensitive to intersectionality and the social construction of gender. It takes a holistic, dynamic approach that blends understandings of biology, socialization, aging, individual differences, and social contexts, including stereotyping and social status. Building on these understandings, it explores women's relationships, employment, body image, physical and mental health, male violence against girls and women, and women's power and empowerment.

LargentWomen and Science: Social Impact and Interaction looks at the complex relationship between science, women, and society as it has evolved from the late 1600s to the present. As the story unfolds, readers meet a number of extraordinary women who crashed the "men's club" of science, from Maria Merian, a 17th century pioneer in the study of metamorphosis to Barbara McClintock, 1984 Nobel prize winner for work that had been dismissed 30 years earlier. <p><p> More than a series of biographical sketches, this book is an insightful look at how some highly accomplished women overcame preconceived notions about their capabilities and their "proper place" and succeeded in contributing extensively to, and at times contesting, modern science.

Women in Mexico: A Past Unveiled (Translations from Latin America)
by Julia Tuñón Pablos Alan HyndsThroughout Mexico's history, women have been subjected to a dual standard: exalted in myth, they remain subordinated in their social role by their biology. But this dualism is not so much a battle between the sexes as the product of a social system. The injustices of this system have led Mexican women to conclude that they deserve a better world, one worth struggling for.<p><p> Published originally in Spanish as Mujeres en México: Una historia olvidada, this work examines the role of Mexican women from pre-Cortés to the 1980s, addressing the interplay between myth and history and the gap between theory and practice. Pointing to such varied prototypes as the Virgin of Guadalupe, La Malinche, and Sor Juana, Tuñón contrasts what these women represent with more realistic but less-exalted counterparts such as Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, La Güera Rodríguez, and Juana Belén Gutiérrez de Mendoza. She also discusses the identity transformation by which indigenous women come to see themselves as Mexicanas, and analyzes such issues as women's economic dislocation in the labor force, education, and self-image.<p> In challenging the illusion that historians have created of women in Mexico's history, Tuñón hopes to recover feminism—with its strengths and weaknesses, its vision of the world that is both intellectual and full of feeling. By examining the social world of Mexico, she also hopes to determine those situations that cause oppression, exploitation, and marginalization of women.
