The Women and Psychology series bridges the gap between abstract research and the reality of women's lives by integrating theory and practice, research and policy. Each book addresses a 'cutting edge' issue of research, covering topics such as postnatal depression and eating disorders, and addressing a wide range of theories and methodologies.

The series provides accessible and concise accounts of key issues in the study of women and psychology, and clearly demonstrates the centrality of psychology debates within women's studies or feminism. Download chapters from:
