This course examines psychological and feminist theories of women's development across the lifespan. It includes biological and cultural factors that shape and define women's daily experience. Students study the influences of sexism, socialization, sexuality, personal relationships, health, education, employment, aging, and violence against women in relationship to their impact on women's self-concept, attitudes, relationships, achievements, and overall well-being. The course also explores cross-cultural assessment of gender and the current state of women's rights within the world.
