Easy Read

This book was very easy to read and packed full of great information. Great book for a psych of gender class!

Good work, well researched, liberal ideas.

This book is generally good, unfortunatley the class I took that used this book was not good. So I'm having trouble separating the book from the class. Taken by itself the book is informative and I feel does a good job of covering the various expiriences of women. The book, of course, does take a liberal slant but the attempt to be balanced is there and should be appreciated by readers of a more conservative slant. The authors do have an agenda, as do most liberal feminists, and they make no apologies for their ideas. The best sections are the ones dealing with women and sexuality. The authors are sensitive and try to go beyond mere male-bashing. The authors also stick to significant issues, (something the class didn't do), and to keep the book from getting to boring they insert cartoons, usually Doonsberry, to illustrate their case. The cartoons are appropriate and add to the work.
