Review
"The publication of this book is an exciting event, something of a rite of passage for feminist perspectives in psychology." (
Choice, April 2002)
"The time was right for a new feminist handbook for our discipline, and the distinguished scholar, Rhoda Unger, was the right person to edit it... the audience for this resource is identified appropriately for the handbook in the preface: graduate students, faculty in the field, and faculty in related areas whose work impinges on the psychology of women and gender.
The Handbook of the Psychology of Women and Gender is a resource that, if noton your own shelf, should be accessible to you in a library." (Janice D. Yoder, Psychology of Women Quarterly)
Book Description
The past thirty years have witnessed an increasing interest in the psychology of women. This has been due to the influx of a great number of women into psychology and the social sciences, and in part to feminist objections to earlier theories of Freud and others, now considered to be male centered and even contemptuous of women.
