Review: Thinking Critically about Research on Sex and Gender


Thinking Critically about Research on Sex and Gender
Thinking Critically about Research on Sex and Gender by Paula J. Caplan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is a fantastic primer to thinking about questions of gender and sex in social sciences research. It was a little basic for my current interests, but a fantastic introduction to the issues. I wish this book was required reading in any intro to psychology course.

Review: Exploring Women's Studies: Looking Forward, Looking Back


Exploring Women's Studies: Looking Forward, Looking Back
Exploring Women's Studies: Looking Forward, Looking Back by Carol R. Berkin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I finally got through this whole book of essays for a project for a professor I'm working with. After having to write on each one, I'll say this: some of these essays are amazing, thought-provoking, and well-written. Other essays should have been edited out and had nothing to do with the theme of the book.
