description: Gender research has charged into the psychological mainstream during the last two decades. In large measure, Janet T. Spence has been responsible for this transformation, challenging the traditional ideas of "fundamental difference" between men and women.Using Spence's work as a starting point, the contributors to this volume examine how gender defines our behavior as men and women. What keeps sexist thinking alive? What is the difference between traditional sexism and its offshoot, modern sexism? Addressing these and other questions, this book is a compendium of the most fascinating gender research of the past two decades.
