Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Walsh, a psychology professor, pulls together relatively readable and pointed pro and con statements--10 new for this volume--on gender-studies issues: research priorities; nature versus nurture; balancing race, class, and gender; whether men and women differ in nonverbal behavior, conversational style, negotiation strategies, and leadership methods; pornography; sexual orientation; domestic violence; rape; gender impact on mathematical performance and on ways of knowing; discrimination; gender in psychological diagnosis and relational therapy; working mothers; mythopoetic men. These relatively brief position papers cannot cover all aspects of these hotly debated questions, but they offer useful insights into the consequences of choosing one side or the other. Larger gender studies collections may want to add to their shelves this rather academic introduction to conflicting positions on 18 key questions. Mary Carroll
