Summary: "Over the last three decade the burgeoning interest in the 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 Psychology of Women: A Lifespan Perspective 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 on 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 women's studies courses. Additionally, its presentation of both current and classical research and theory make it a suitable choice, along with supplementary materials, for more advanced courses focused on the psychology of women or gender." - Preface.
