Drawing material from two interrelated perspectives - social psychology and feminism, this book examines the lives of contemporary American women from pre-birth through old age, taking into account the influence of parents, schools, the mass media, employers, religious and political institutions, and the law. The author presents literature that focuses on the social construction of gender and within-gender variations associated with ethnicity, social class and other social categories.
