description
"A New Psychology of Women" examines how gender-related expectations interact with other cultural assumptions and stereotypes, and with social and economic conditions, to affect women's experiences and behavior. A wide range of new and extensively updated topics optimize readers' knowledge of how disparate perspectives from cultures throughout the world shape women's behavior and attitudes toward: health care; violence against women; poverty; labor force participation; occupational segregation; unpaid work; stereotyping and discrimination; expectations about power within marriage; female genital mutilation; theories of gender development; women's attitudes toward their bodies; use of social media; media portrayals of girls and women; and women in political leadership roles. Among thoroughly updated topics particular to US culture are same-sex marriage, Latina women's issues, the portrayals of women of different ethnic and cultural groups on television, and breast cancer survival rates of African American and European American women.
