By holding all of society to \"norms\" based in male behavior, this so-called \"masculine psychology\" effectively assigned women lower societal status than men and had disturbing effects on women's health and self-esteem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeminist Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on gender differences, social structure, and the values and principles of women's rights within the world's individual, social, and political spheres. Contrary to popular notion, feminist psychology does not involve man-hating, but instead focuses on loving the concept that women have equal potential to set and achieve goals and to contribute to society. In this volume, psychologist Vera Maass explains the history, theory, research, and current state of this growing field, which is becoming increasingly popular as colleges offer majors or concentrations in feminist psychology, and argues that women are both different from and equal to men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vera Maass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440870152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440870156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ABC-Clio, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Vera Maass","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995862401279,"sku":"9781440870156","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ca039c2-d4a5-4a47-845a-45b9c1e55a37.jpg?v=1683338295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feminist-psychology-vera-sonja-maass-9781440870156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
