Using a direct, personal voice Elizabeth Rider offers a well-researched, logical, and empirical book that presents
current issues in the psychology of women in a balanced and fair manner. The author does not represent a particular
agenda, but instead presents the best of what we know, even with its limitations. Throughout the book, applications
relate the material to women's lives in a compelling, personal way. Featured studies illuminate the process of
research, describe the "why" and "how" of key experiments, and introduce students to the primary
literature in the field.
