Over the last few decades, the burgeoning interest in psychology of women has been reflected in a rapidly expanding body of research and a growing number of college-level courses in the psychology of women or gender. The fourth edition of Womens Lives: A Psychological Exploration draws on this rich literature to present a broad range of experiences and issues of relevance to girls and women. Because it does not presuppose any background in psychology, this book can be used as the sole or primary text in introductory-level psychology of women courses and, with other books, in psychology of gender or interdisciplinary womens studies courses. Additionally, its presentation of both current and classical research and theory makes it a suitable choice, along with supplementary materials, for more advanced courses focused on the psychology of women or gender.
Every chapter in this textbook reflects substantial changes in this field during the past few years. We have made several changes based on the extremely helpful comments from reviewers and the many students and faculty who have used the two life span editions and the three topical editions of this book. This new topical revision includes the following highlights:
- Over 2,200 new references emphasize the latest research and theories, with more than half from 2015 to the present.
- In the News, a boxed feature in each chapter, presents current, and often controversial, news items to engage students in critically thinking about gender-related current events and to illustrate the real-life applications of course materials.
- What You Can Do, a boxed feature in each chapter, provides students with hands-on activities to both empower themselves and help promote a more egalitarian society.
