Title: Women, girls and achievement
Description: Achievement issues in education, therapy, psychological theory and research, and women's professional and family lives are probed in this book of readings that approaches this subject from theoretical and practical perspectives. Distinguished contributors write contemporary topics including self-esteem, barriers to achievement for women of colour, and achievement and motherhood. The text was developed from the successful 1991 Section on Women and Psychology one day institute (the Canadian Psychological Association) in which a broad spectrum of papers were presented. The result is a unique, timely, and stimulating book that is highly relevant to the lives of women in contemporary North American society.
