Long description:

Women?s Lives integrates the most current research and social issues to explore the psychological diversity of girls and women varying in age, ethnicity, social class, nationality, immigrant experience, sexual orientation, gender identity, ableness and body size and shape. The text embeds a lifespan perspective within each topical chapter and has an intersectional approach that integrates women?s diverse identities. It includes rich coverage of women with disabilities and on middle-aged and older women throughout. Taking a deeper transnational focus, it also examines the impact of social, cultural, and economic factors in shaping women?s lives around the world.



This edition explores the latest areas of research and tackles important contemporary topics such as:



  • feminization of immigration

  • media portrayals of LGBTQ individuals and immigrants

  • regulating testosterone levels in women?s sports; disorders of sexual development; nonbinary identity

  • the effects of social media on body image; sizeism

  • new classification of sexual disorders

  • menstrual equity and the "tampon tax"

  • migrant women as transnational mothers

  • academic environment for low-income, ethnic minority, and immigrant women

  • effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on women?s employment and work-family balance

  • the dilemma of unpredictable work hours

  • healthcare barriers experienced by immigrant women and LGBTQ individuals
