Media Reviews
I would recommend it as a book to dip into. - British Journal of Clinical Psychology ...an invaluable collection. - Psychology of Women Section newsletter This collection of papers is an impressive demonstration of the diversity of contemporary international research in the area of feminist social psychology, and provides a welcome reminder of the achievementsmade over the last 10 years. - Gender and Education Feminist Social Psychologies clearly achieves its goal ofillustrating the richness and vitality of feminist social psychologies today. It convincingly challenges mainstream psychology's traditional characterization of women as inferior, and demonstratesthe maturity and confidence within the field of feminist psychology that allows us to see our diversity as strength. - Psychologyof Women Quarterly This collection is a 10-year update of its predecessor volume, which had its title in the singular. While the title changeis intended to reflect increasing diversity of theories and methods, what is remarkable about this book is the satisfying coherence of approach across the papers. This marks it out from manycollections of papers. - History and Philosophy
