Psychology of Women and Gender

Psychology of Women and Gender (2nd Edition), authored by Miriam Liss, Kate Richmond, and Mindy J. Erchull, provides students with a foundational academic text. Grounded in psychological research and feminist theory, the volume establishes a clear framework for studying human behavior and gender dynamics across diverse social settings.

The core structure integrates an intersectional lens throughout its chapters while actively challenging assumptions of a gender binary. The thematic focus extends beyond traditional binary frameworks to address nonbinary experiences as well as the experiences of men in contemporary psychological inquiry.

To strengthen practical academic skills, the text includes a dedicated research methods chapter. This material helps students evaluate empirical research, analyze scientific methodology, and practice critical thinking across gender studies coursework.
