Half the Human Experience—The Psychology of Women

Written in language intended to demystify the field, this textbook on feminist psychology is accessible to undergraduates with little background but also contains enough thought-provoking material for senior majors in psychology or women's studies. This eighth edition offers new material on many areas, such as third-wave feminism, gender microaggressions, children's perceptions, rape prevention, gender differences in math performance, and implications of new ideas of epigenetics. Entire chapters are devoted to women of color, lesbian and bisexual women, and the psychology of men. Learning features include chapter outlines, margin terms, research and issues boxes, a glossary, and an annotated directory of organizations. The text is illustrated with b&w photos, diagrams, and cartoons. Online instructor resources are available. Hyde is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin.
