<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Revised edition of the authors' Introduction to women's and gender studies, [2017]<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach</em>, Second Edition, is a truly interdisciplinary and intersectional text featuring global examples for women's, gender, and sexuality studies. Its student-centered rhetorical approach and pedagogical features--including an engaging image program, prompts for activism, a comprehensive glossary, appendices of key terms, annotated bibliographies for additional reading, and Feminisms in Brief--aid students in assimilating fundamental women's and gender studies terms and concepts. While it is a textbook and not an anthology, <em>Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies</em> adopts the best facets of the anthology approach: it includes discussions of frequently anthologized writers and writing that is more engaging and narrative in style than traditional textbooks. The book systematically covers core interdisciplinary concepts so that students are prepared for women's and gender studies courses in a variety of disciplines.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br><em>Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies</em> approaches the topic from an international and interdisciplinary perspective.

Suzanne Farmer, <em>Northeastern State University</em> <br><p></p><br>Everything about <em>Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies</em>--from the narrative voice, to the contemporary pop culture examples in the text, to the supplemental materials--is developed with an undergraduate audience in mind and with an eye to ease of teaching. I love this approach.--Jean Keller, <em>College of St. Benedict and St. John's University</em> <br><p></p><br>I appreciate the breadth of <em>Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies</em>--it's impressive in its coverage of so many historical movements.
