Toward a Feminist Developmental Psychology

This collection of original essays integrates the exciting recent scholarship on feminist theories and methods into developmental psychology. It also acquaints women's studies scholars with issues in developmental psychology that raise interesting questions for feminist theories. Its focus goes beyond that of traditional scholarship that tends to focus only on sex differences and sex roles; instead it considers alternative views of what is worth studying, how one should study it, etc. The chapters provide new, feminist perspectives on topics of great current interest to developmental psychologists.
