Our Voices – Psychology of Women 2e

Using a direct, personal voice that students will find engaging, 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.  As students see how researchers have gone about exploring questions about the psychology of women, they are encouraged to think critically and to see the research in context.
