“Overall, this text/reader is fantastic! It provides enough basic information on each topic and uses academic research to delve further into some of the content…This is one of my favorite textbooks that I have used for any of my classes!”
Lock Haven University
“It is an all-inclusive text on women’s issues geared toward undergraduate students. The chapters are an easy read, but they get the main points across, and there are supplemental articles at the end of each chapter, which in most cases, remove the extra step of having to locate supplemental articles online for students.”
Georgia Southern University
“Very interesting topic with some good intriguing cases and readings.”
Nebraska Wesleyan University
