Opis

While most women s studies texts function "topically" as "readings" for courses and general use, Women s Work: A Survey of Scholarship By and About Women takes a broad spectrum of women s disciplines--psychological, artistic, religious, and philosophical--and gives you a diverse, interdisciplinary view of this important and ever-expanding field of study in one accessible volume. You ll see that women are leading the world into the twenty-first century in such areas as education, business, health, and science. You ll also find your appreciation for the current developments in women s studies increase as you see how far-reaching and multifaceted this crucial discipline really is.

Women s Work avoids the compilations of topical readings that tend to bog down typical women s studies courses and explores the different disciplines that continue to make this field central to the development of the academic world community. You ll find your perspective on women s studies expand and take on new meaning as you delve into these and other areas:

• feminist approaches to research
• the lack of women in science and feminist critiques of science
• women and health
• psychology and discussions on sex differences, sex similarities, and gender roles
• communication differences between men and women
• women in literature, art history, and metaphysics
• Judeo-Christian religions and goddess religions
  
  This comprehensive compendium has something for everyone interested in the massive contribution that women have made--and will continue to make--in all areas of human development. All readers, especially women s studies scholars, professors, students, and informed members of the general public looking for an excellent, up-to-date resource concerning the general direction of feminist disciplines today, will definitely want a copy of Women s Work.
