The Psychology of Women - An Inclusive Approach

This is an introduction to the psychology of women and gender, written for community college students. The book moves from the categories of sex and gender themselves outward to the institutions that benefit from them, and to the consequences of a binary sex and gender system. Trans and nonbinary experience is analyzed inside every chapter. And race, class, and sexuality are pulled through each topic as part of the analysis to highlight intersectionality.
