Updated with findings from the latest research, this contributed
work on the psychology of women covers global initiatives,
theories, and practical applications in various settings. It also
addresses best practices of feminist methodologies and teaching
psychology of women courses. As societal gender standards continue
to shift and the capabilities, strengths, and needs of women become
more widely acknowledged and prioritized-even as myths regarding
women's leadership, health, and work behavior persist-it becomes
increasingly important to understand the psychology of women. This
third edition of Psychology of Women provides updated and expanded
coverage of this highly significant and relevant subject through
diverse perspectives of internationally known scholars in their
disciplines, offering synopses of recent research and examinations
of key theoretical issues, global initiatives, and practical
applications in the workplace, therapy, and educational settings. A
resource ideally suited to students in women's studies and the
psychology of women as well as for use as a handbook for scholars,
faculty members, and specialists in fields relating to the
psychology of women, the book covers specific topics such as women
in middle age, women's career development and challenges in
integrating work and family roles, and the ongoing problem of
violence against women. This latest edition also includes best
practices of feminist methodologies and information regarding
teaching psychology of women courses, and it emphasizes placing
value on all women, including women of color, women with
disabilities, and lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women.
