introductory textbook."
Maria Bevacqua, Minnesota State University
This is my top choice for my introductory class in women and gender because it includes both classic and contemporary essays on feminism and women's studies as well as cutting edge discussions of current issues in the field. My students find the book to be engaging and tell me that it's their favorite read of the semester. Class discussions arise easily and move along naturally due to the focus on issues that relate to the lives of my students."
