Summary:

Leaders in feminist psychology have increasingly stressed the need to pay greater attention to cultural diversity among women and to integrate this awareness into teaching, theory building, research, and practice. This book responds by focusing on the empirical and practice based implications of recognizing such diversity in the psychology of women. Areas explored include child development and gender socialization, psychotherapy and clinical supervision, health psychology, and contemporary issues such as sexual harassment and pornography.
