This text begins with the premise that everything we think we know about human beings is shaped and limited by our own culture and experience. Its aim is to show students how gender-related expectations interact with other cultural assumptions and stereotypes, as well as with social and economic conditions, to affect womenâ€™s experiences and behavior. The text also describes the ways in which womenâ€™s lives differ between cultures. Featuring more coverage of diversity within the U.S. culture, the thoroughly updated third edition is accompanied by an updated online edition of Cheryl Rickabaughâ€™s Sex and Gender workbook.

Rich, original, and transformative, the latest edition of A New Psychology of Women examines how gender-related expectations interact with other cultural assumptions and stereotypes, and with social and economic conditions, to affect women's experiences and behavior. Absorbing narratives centered on essential topics in psychology and global research engage readers to grasp cutting-edge insights into the psychological diversity of women. Aware that our own cultural experience colors and limits what we think we know about people, veteran educator and scholar Hilary Lips imbues her discussions with international examples and perspectives to provide an inclusive approach to the psychology of women.
 A wide range of new and extensively updated topics optimize readers' knowledge of how disparate perspectives from cultures throughout the world shape women's behavior and attitudes toward:
 health care / violence against women / poverty / labor force participation / occupational segregation / unpaid work / stereotyping and discrimination / expectations about power within marriage / female genital mutilation / theories of gender development / women's attitudes toward their bodies / use of social media / media portrayals of girls and women / women in political leadership roles
 Among thoroughly updated topics particular to US culture are same-sex marriage, Latina women's issues, the portrayal of women of different ethnic and cultural groups on television, and breast cancer survival rates of African American and European American women.
 Boxed items containing learning activities, profiles of women who helped shape psychology, and suggestions for making social changes appear throughout the text. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions, key terms, suggestions for additional reading, and Web resources.

Are sex and gender really two different things? How malleable is gender identity? Should we emphasize gender differences? These are only some of the questions Hilary Lips addresses regarding one of the most important dimensions of human life since time immemorial. Stereotypes, gender roles, and how social relationships function all combine to assign meanings to the male-female distinction that affects all aspects of social life. Taking advantage of the abundance of current research that reevaluates and resituates the major issues of sex and gender, the Sixth Edition collects and distills this scholarship into a book that is readily accessible and relevant to today's readers.
 Lips incorporates knowledge gained from a range of social sciences, taking a critical approach to empirical research. Throughout the book, she emphasizes culturally, racially, and sexually diverse perspectives. A discussion of the role that gender plays in social relationships and power hierarchies illuminates the experience of inequality between men and women in business, education, politics, and the media. The ideas presented in Sex and Gender will raise readers' awareness of the issues contributing to that major social problem.

Sex and Gender: An Introduction, Sixth Edition

Politics & Social Sciences

Social Sciences

Are sex and gender really two different things? How malleable is gender identity? Do both gender and sex have to be conceptualized as binaries—as having two distinct but complementary categories? Should we emphasize gender differences, or is that the wrong question? When should we call a gender difference "small"? Are women really "nonaggressive" or does that label stem from stereotyping? How does subtle or "modern" sexism work on its targets? 
Scholarship on these and other gender-related questions has exploded in recent years. Hilary Lips synthesizes that research for students in an accessible and readable way. Concepts on sex and gender are presented with the social context in which they were developed. As in previous editions, Lips takes a multicultural approach, discussing the gender experiences of people from a wide range of races, cultures, socioeconomic statuses, and gender and sexual identities. She emphasizes empirical research but takes a critical approach to that research.
