A well written introduction to female psychology diversity.

A New Psychology Of Women: Gender, Culture, And Ethnicity is the first in-depth introduction to the psychological diversity of women from a cross-cultural perspective. Using a narrative approach, Hilary Lips describes ways in which cultures (including contemporary American culture) shape women's experience. In addition to the essential topics in a psychology of women survey, A New Psychology Of Women includes a strong focus on the diversity and the commonality of women's experiences; research carried conducted by scholars outside the U.S. and outside the mainstream within the U.S.; as well as chapters examining aging, leadership, and power. Each chapter opening presents a narrative bringing the chapter topic into personal and cultural perspective. A New Psychology Of Women is an ideal, and particularly well written, introduction that will prove of immense interest to students of psychology and women's studies.
