Reviews

I am enthusiastic about this work; with the strong introduction, the contents are approachable by the non-specialist and contain much of value on gender differences. The chapters link up well to similar discussions in all other disciplines. . . . All of the contents demonstrate a great variety and vitality. --Jean O'Barr

Gender and Personality has a breadth and thoroughness that suggests it will stand as a marker for some years to come; it provides a comprehensive coverage of a perspective on gender that has not been treated systematically in recent years. The work is scholarly but not esoteric, and the breadth of coverage makes it a valuable sourcebook. -Kay Deaux I am enthusiastic about this work; with the strong introduction, the contents are approachable by the non-specialist and contain much of value on gender differences.
