"Gender is a very important contribution to the study of gender in psychologyIts innovative format and unique organization provide for an enjoyable learning experience for students of psychology." - Florence L. Denmark, Pace University

"Gender strikes the perfect balance between biological and social factors that inform the psychology of gender. Even more importantly, this text is solidly based on scientific research findings rather than venturing into the minefield of gender politics." - Linda Heath, Loyola University Chicago

"Gender provides a readable review of both classic and recent research on gender. Linda Brannon is consistently balanced and empirical in her stance, and original in the way she threads varied topics together to give the reader a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of gender." - Maureen C. McHugh, Indiana University of Pennsylvania

"Gender thoroughly covers the latest research on traditional topics, such as relationships and sexuality, and clearly presents newer topics such as homosexuality, transsexuals, and sexual abuse. Excellent for psychology and sociology courses." - Nancy Netting, University of British Columbia Okanagan, Canada

"I have been happily using Gender for many editions now, and definitely plan to continue having seen the same excellent writing, research foundation, and easy-to-follow organization in the seventh edition. My students like this text; I highly recommend it." - Karen J. Prager, The University of Texas at Dallas
