"Unger presents an authoritative account of feminist psychology and its major practitioners, as well as her own contributions, including six reprints of earlier addresses or papers" —Sari M. van Anders, Indiana University Resisting Gender provides a reflexive social history of the development of the psychology of women as an academic field of research and teaching. Core areas of concern in feminist psychology are examined, including discrimination, power and social control, critique of theory and content in psychology, and epistemology. The book outlines the stages through which the psychology of women has moved, and highlights the on-going questions and dilemmas for the field. The author, Rhoda K. Unger, is an eminent scholar and activist in American feminist psychology. She has been involved with the discipline as a researcher, teacher, author, and leader since its inception, and is in a unique position to introduce us to, and offer her personal perspective on, the key debates and concerns that have driven, or been driven by, the field of the psychology of women. Resisting Gender is primarily written for graduate students and professionals who are new to the psychology of women. It should also be read by scholars of psychology, sociology, social history, history of science, and women's studies.
