While women are generally perceived to be less competitive than
men, women compete in many ways and in a variety of situations.
Women try to make themselves look more attractive to draw the
attention of a desirable mate. They will use gossip as a form of
informational warfare to influence reputations. They compete as
mothers to gain access to resources that directly influence the
health of their children. They use selfies posted on social media
to manipulate others' perceptions. Women compete all of their
lives: in the womb, through adolescence and adulthood, and into
their elder years. The topic of women's competition has gained
significant momentum over the years. Edited by Maryanne L. Fisher,
The Oxford Handbook of Women and Competition provides readers with
direct evidence of this growth and is one of the first scholarly
volumes to focus specifically on this topic. Fisher and her team of
contributors offer a definitive worldview of the current state of
knowledge regarding competition among women today. Many of the
chapters are grounded within an evolutionary framework, allowing
for authors to investigate the adaptive nature of women's
competitive behaviors, motivations, and cognition. Other chapters
rely on alternative frameworks, with contributors also asserting
that socio-cultural forces are the culprit shaping women's
competitive drives. Additionally, several contributors focus their
attention on issues faced by adolescent girls, and explore the
developmental trajectories for young women through adulthood.
Designed to serve as a source of inspiration for future research
and direction, The Oxford Handbook of Women and Competition is a
stand-out scholarly text focusing on the many competitive forces
driving women today.
