Engendering Psychology: Bringing Women Into Focus

Summary
Written in vibrant language, this text offers fresh insight on an increasingly popular subject. Denmark, Rabinowitz, and Sechzer explore the concept of gender as a social construction across the lines of race, ethnicity, class, age, and sexual orientation, pulling from the exciting new scholarship that has emerged over the last few years.
Renowned psychologist Dr. June Chisholm contributes a comprehensive chapter focusing on culture, ethnicity, race, and class (Ch. 4); chapters cover human sexuality and intimate relationships, as well as other topics vital to women, such as violence, exploitation, psychological health, and physical well-being. Issues are examined from a historical perspective as well as from psychosocial and cultural perspectives. Florence L. Denmark is an award-winning, internationally recognized scholar and researcher who holds fellowship status in the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society. Vita Carulli Rabinowitz received the Kurt Lewin Award for Outstanding Contributions to Social Psychology in 1992. Jeri A. Sechzer holds several fellowships and has received several awards, most recently the Wilhelm Wundt Award of the New York State Psychological Association for her scientific contributions to psychology.
