Summary

• Having agreed that gender constitutes a fundamental category of analysis, feminists are now paying attention to variations among women. This book is part of that effort. In this volume, seventeen women psychologists address issues of diversity while exploring the effects of essentialism - the presumed sameness of all women.
• By exposing the ways in which their own work incorporates their gender and ethnicities, the contributors invite us on a journey of awareness, a journey built on communication and collaboration.
• This accessible, lively book explores dilemmas of gender and ethnicity facing psychologists. It looks at various ethnic communities, including African Americans, Japanese Americans, and Mexican Americans, within settings involving issues of parenting, education, and personal and professional achievement. It should appeal to those exploring the role of women, especially ethnic-minority women, from feminist as well as cultural perspectives.
