Appropriate for students from a variety of backgrounds, Matlin/Foushee's highly respected THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WOMEN AND GENDER, 8E introduces the psychology behind women and gender using an engaging narrative and the latest research. Known for its balanced scholarship, readability and inclusion of intersectional and LGBTQIA+ perspectives, this edition demonstrates a genuine interest in and understanding of its readers. The authors use direct quotes and empirical research from multiple academic disciplines to accurately depict today's gendered experiences. Updates incorporate the most current research, with many references from 2020 or later, as the authors examine topics that are central to women's lives but are often not addressed by other authors. Complete chapters discuss childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, love relationships, motherhood, physical and mental health. Expanded coverage also explores social class, ethnic and gender diversity, pregnancy and retirement for women.
