OVERVIEW:
"Psychology has nothing to say about what women are really like, what they need and what they want,
essentially, because psychology does not know."
More than thirty-five years have passed since Naomi Weisstein (1968/1993) made this statement. As a
result of Naomi Weisstein's and many other psychologists' efforts, the psychology of women and gender
has become an important and exciting area of research and study. Furthermore, the entire field of
psychology has been influenced by the work of feminist psychologists who have made extensive
progress in correcting biases within the field of psychology. This course will increase your awareness of
this progress, review major theoretical orientations and research findings relating to the psychology of
women and gender, and identify the ways in which gender bias, sexism, and related systems of
oppression (e.g., heterosexism and racism) still influence the lives of people.
As noted by feminist theorist bell hooks, “Feminism is for everybody” (2000), including women, men,
people of color, gay and lesbian and transgendered persons, religious and nonreligious persons, persons
of all class backgrounds, persons from around the world etc. As knowledge about women’s lives has
increased over the past 35 years, feminist psychologists have also been influential in creating a new
psychology of men and masculinities. Although this course focuses primarily on the lives of women, it
is also highly relevant to the lives of men in society.
We will discuss issues related to the psychology of women and men such as achievement, interpersonal
relationships, victimization, parenting, health, and adjustment. We will focus on theories of and
research about women and gender, as well as historical and social themes that influence human
experience. Women's and men’s life choices and tasks, gender similarities and differences, and the
psychological health of women will receive special emphasis. This class will also explore the diversity
of women by examining the impact of social factors, race, ethnicity, class values, cultural themes, and
sexual and gender role orientations on women and men. We will explore the complex intersections of
these various social identities and how certain identities may confer privilege while others are often
associated with societal oppression and discrimination.

Assumptions for learning about the psychology of women (Adapted from Michele Paludi)
Assumption 1: The course should be a laboratory of feminist principles (e.g., egalitarianism, shared
power) and every individual in the class is a potential teaching resource.
Assumption 2: A psychology of women and gender course centralizes content relevant to women’s and
gender issues. However, this course is relevant to the lives of all people. All lives are characterized by a
diversity of choices and life paths. Respect for difference is essential.
Assumption 3: A focus on human behavior in social interactions and within social systems is important
for understanding the relationship between the personal and the political. Integrating knowledge of the
self with knowledge of social factors that influence our lives is central to developing a complete view of
human experience.
Assumption 4: The subjective, personal, emotional experiences of individuals are valid and important to
learning. The objective, empirical study of human experience is also useful. The integration of
subjective and objective, as well as emotional and cognitive experiences supports comprehensive forms
of learning.
Assumption 5: It is important for learners to assume responsibility and claim their own learning and
growth. Self-directed learning is often the most empowering form of learning. Cooperation between
class members in pursuing learning objectives creates a more positive learning climate than does
competition. Full participation of all class members will contribute to a positive learning experience. I
encourage class members to help equalize participation in order to assure that all persons are heard: both
highly verbal and less verbal class members.
Assumption 6: Opportunities outside of class (e.g. informal discussion, journals) are useful for
enhancing classroom discussion and interaction. Assignments that encourage reflective observation
about women's and men’s lives are useful tools for applying knowledge about women and men.
Objective, analytical exploration of theory and research is also productive, especially when integrated
with personal reflection.
Assumption 7: Individuals hold a wide range of views about the appropriate role of feminism in the
study of women, as well as the causes of sexism, other “isms” that intersect with gender, and appropriate
solutions for eradicating gender inequity. In addition, feminists with different theoretical orientations
frequently disagree about solutions to important issues. Disagreement need not be alienating. An
exploration of and appreciation for these differences is useful in defining one's own theoretical
orientation to feminism and the psychology of women.
Assumption 8: Individuals come to a psychology of women and gender course with varied levels of
exposure to women's and gender issues. Some individuals define themselves as feminists and others do
not. Some individuals find the content of this course to be emotionally intense and others do not. Those
individuals who have extensive background with women's issues and/or women's studies may need to
demonstrate patience, tolerance, and understanding of those who do not have less background. Those
individuals with less background may need to engage in personal "homework" to catch up with some
discussions. However, each person's contribution is valuable and sometimes questions or comments that
appear simple can help bring a new perspective to an issue.

Selected readings on reserve (see class schedule)
ATTENDANCE:
In order for you to meet the goals that I have outlined above, it will be important for you to attend class
regularly and to participate actively. I appreciate your efforts to let me know if you are unable to attend a
class session. You may e-mail me, speak with me in person, or leave a voice mail message. If you are
absent for more than two full sick days, I will expect you to submit a statement from a medical
professional. Given the importance of active participation to your own learning and that of others,
excessive absences may result in a lowering of your final grade.
TESTS:
You will be asked to respond to essays, some short answer items, and some multiple choice questions.
Test dates are Thursday, March 10 and Wednesday, March 23.
OCCASIONAL SHORT REACTIONS:
These short directed papers represent overnight assignments that will require approximately one or twopage responses related to the topic of study for a specific day.
PARTICIPATION AND FACILITATING DISCUSSION:
Each class is responsible for reading assigned material, reflecting on the issues raised by readings prior
to class meetings, and participating in class discussion. Each class member is responsible for leading a
portion of class discussion on one day. Discussion facilitators should prepare questions designed to
guide discussion for approximately half an hour.
PAPERS:
A. Social Identity Analysis
Length: Approximately 3 pages
Due: Friday, March 4
During the first several days of class, we will complete several activities that explore social identity.
This short paper provides an occasion for you to consider how the various social identities you inhabit
influence your self-definition, experiences of privilege and/or discrimination, goals, and style of coping.
I encourage you to write this short paper about yourself. However, you may also focus on the life of a
parent, friend, or a character portrayed in the media, a novel, or an autobiography.
How do the interconnections among the social identities and social locations influence your life
experience? As you answer this question, I encourage you to consider some or all of the following areas:
4
sexuality, relationships with women and men, education, adjustment, achievement, and encounters with
negative life events.
B. Case Study of a Contributor to the Psychology of Women
Length: 5-7 pages (submit an electronic and paper version)
Due: Saturday, March 19 at 5 P.M.
Class Presentation: Class members will make presentations about the contributors they are studying
during the final week of class. Class members will use Powerpoint to communicate salient points to the
class. Class members will also submit a copy of their Powerpoint presentation with their papers.
Use this paper to explore the life and work of a past or current contributor to the psychology of
women and/or gender. Whenever possible, you should also locate and explore whatever
autobiographical or biographical information that is available about this person. Many contemporary
contributors are likely to maintain home pages within their institutions, and this may be the best source
of biographical information about individuals. You should also describe and evaluate the nature of this
person’s research and/or theoretical contributions. You should be able to gain access to a list of this
person's publications through PsychInfo, and ideally, you should read/summarize some of this person’s
most important works. Please include an annotated bibliography at the end of the paper.
The following questions may help you focus your thinking. What did this person contribute to
the field of psychology (or what is she currently contributing)? What is the nature of this person's
theoretical, applied, or empirical contributions (in other words, a summary of her or his major work)?
How did this person's ideas evolve? If information about this person’s life is available, what life
experiences and/or historical/cultural trends appear to have influenced the nature of her or his work and
research? How did this person overcome traditional stereotypes in order to make her or his
contribution? What barriers did this person experience as she or he attempted to meet career goals? If
relevant, what factors led to this person’s lack of recognition within psychology?
In some cases, you will have limited access to biographical information. In such situations, you
will focus primarily on the person's professional contributions to psychology. If the individual's personal
life influenced her or his professional work, I encourage you to comment on the relationship between
these factors.
Our library contains a selection of books that will help you begin your exploration of women's
lives. They include: Untold Lives: The First Generation of American Women Psychologists (by E.
Scarborough & L. Furumoto), In the Shadow of the Past: Psychology Portrays the Sexes (edited by M.
Lewin), Eminent Women in Psychology: Models of Achievement (several volumes, edited by A.
O'Connell & N. Russo), and Women in Psychology: A Bio-Bibliographic Sourcebook (edited by Agnes
O'Connell and Nancy Felipe Russo).
