  Book summary:

  The publication of Women's Realities, Women's Choices-- the first interdisciplinary text for an introductory course in women's studies--marks the coming of age of the field of women's studies. The result of a collective effort to devise a course that transcends the traditional academic boundaries, this text is completely interdisciplinary in approach. It incorporates research from all the major disciplines, including psychology, philosophy, medicine, and political science; covers the development of women from the classical period to the present day; and provides an accessible, scholarly text for the field of women's studies. While the central goal of this text is to introduce students to the research and theories that are of current interest to women's studies scholars, the text also addresses a wide range of controversial topics relating to sexism, such as racism, homophobia, and class conflict.

  Book summary:

  This landmark text introduces readers to the field of women's studies by analyzing the contradictions between social and cultural "givens" and the realities that women face in society. Written collectively by nine authors from various disciplines, Women's Realities, Women's Choices, Third Edition, has been updated to incorporate the latest research and statistics in the field. Covering the most recent developments in politics, labor, family life, religion, and culture, the book also features extensive research on relevant social issues, such as the impact of the post-Soviet world on women's lives, the experience of homosexuality in family life, and the effects of economic globalization on women worldwide.
  
  This edition features a discussion of the cultural construction of women's bodies, the expectations of girlhood, new perspectives on women's partnering roles, and the serious health issues women face today. Boxes and pictures now contain more information on the current cultural scene, including material on popular culture and women in music. Examining women as individuals, as family members, and as a force in the greater social fabric, Women's Realities, Women's Choices remains the most timely, comprehensive, and compelling introduction to the field of women's studies.
