With its solid grounding in contemporary feminist scholarship, this book focuses on important issues such as violence against women, health psychology, work-family balance, development across the life- course, and sexist discrimination. Written to be reader-friendly, the book weaves a cohesive stow that delivers its main points in a clear and straight-forward manner. And, rather than separating womens experiences by stereotyped subgroups, this book integrates the diversity of womens experiences to present as inclusive a picture as possible of women and womens lives.
