Abstract

Once the province of a small group of theorists and researchers operating on the periphery of psychological science, gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet Taylor Spence was responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of fundamental differences between men and women. These differences have been replaced by ba complex, sophisticated awareness of how gender is constructed and maintained. Using Spence's seminal work as a starting point, the contributors to this volume examine how gender defines male and female behaviors. This volume is divided into three parts: the gensis of gender research, the complexity of gender stereotypes, and the modern forms of sexism and their consequences.
