Description
The text begins with chapters that explore the history of women at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the identity economics of female genital mutilation. Additional chapters address sex differences in emotional communication, the psychological costs of terminating a pregnancy, endometriosis, and the consequences of infertility in developing countries. Students read articles on the emotional and behavioral health of college-aged women, human trafficking, violence against women, and the balance of women and work. The anthology closes with a reading about the importance of feminism in contemporary society.
Meant to serve as a supplementary text, Women and Psychology is well-suited for any course that explores the intersection of women and psychology.
