Description
This book is a collection of previously unpublished essays written for undergraduates by experienced teachers of the psychology of women course. The essays are referred to as "lectures" because they are written in an informal style, as if the author/teacher were speaking directly to the students. The "lectures" cover key topics within psychology of women course and the general women's studies crriculum. The editors provide a preface addressed to both students and professors that explains how the book is intended to be used. The text also includes an introduction that discusses the philosophy and aims of feminist psychology. and how the book fits into that framework.
