"I wanted a book that presented the information in a relatively unbiased fashion and that explored ways of interpreting the data from a variety of theoretical perspectives.
The Lips' text does this."
--Tara L. Cornelius, Grand Valley State University

"Lips' text was identified by a colleague as one of the best gender texts ever written, and I agree with this evaluation. The text improves with each edition and always includes current research and social phenomenon."
