I am planning to use this in my class in the fall. . .
I've looked high and low for a good textbook to use for the class I will teach on "Women & Politics" in the fall at Samford University. I was thrilled when I came across this book at a book fair. Many of my students are quite conservative, and anything titled "feminist" is likely to scare them. I have found that the best way to get such students to start questioning some of their ingrained gender role stereotypes is to slap them upside the proverbial head with statistics on women in U.S. society. This book is chock full of powerful statistics that tell no lies about what it means to be a woman in U.S. society, and also how one's racial identity affects one's experience of womanhood. I plan to assign the statistics (which are in a separate section of the book)for the first week of class. Then the students will have to interpret the statistics themselves. Why is it that there are so few women leaders in academia, in the military, in the corporate world? Why is it that there are more girls than boys entering college now? Why do women earn less than men do? These questions will then be the starting point from which we can explore theory. In sum, other professors out there -- this is a perfect book to assign for college students with no prior exposure to women's studies.
