"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."
--Betty Door, Fort Lewis College |
