The new edition includes the most recent developments for women in politics, labour, family life, religion and culture.

The interdisciplinary nature of this text is further accentuated by the inclusion of literary excerpts, articles and images from history and popular culture, all of which help students consider women's issues from a variety of standpoints. The revisions and additions have maintained this text's standing as one of the most comprehensive introductory volumes covering the wide range of issues facing women today.
