"The updated focus of this longstanding textbook is signaled through its changed title, the rationale for which is laid out in clear detail by Helgeson, along with her new co-authors Balhan and Winterrowd. The 7th edition retains the authoritative synthesis of scholarship and research in the field while adopting a refreshed and inviting tone that will appeal to the sensibilities of today's students. We appreciated the expanded attention to gender/sex beyond the binary, the wider lens on the role of relationships in people's lives, the greater emphasis on structures of power, and the enhanced discussion of LGBTQ+ communities. The addition of learning outcomes and the expansion of the sidebars give teachers and students more ways to track learning and distill and expand upon key ideas."Christie Launius, Kansas State University and Holly Hassel, Michigan Technological University, co-authors Threshold Concepts in Women's and Gender Studies: Ways of Seeing, Thinking, and Knowing."Helgeson (with two new co-authors to this edition, Balhan and Winterrowd) have produced an important textbook with intersectional, interdisciplinary, and scientific perspectives on gender/sex. With an engaging writing style, the book provides the most cutting-edge perspectives and empirical research on gender/sex identities, their connections to other social categories, and their roles in various important contexts, including family, relationships, friendships, health and well-being. Every reader – from an undergraduate student to a seasoned scholar in the area – will benefit from a thoughtful read of this text. Although “Psychology” is in the title, this book provides multiple additional perspectives, including from sociology, anthropology, public health, and relationship science."Susan Sprecher, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, Illinois State University
