It's a good textbook but each article or writing piece varies which can be taxing when you have a certain amount of readings to finish for a specific time. Anyways this was a core component of the women's studies course. But it's well done, representing several perspectives from various cultures. Review: Four Stars - Good read

way to much highlighting
The book has tons and tons of highlighting and a lot of written remarks all over it! I can hardly focus on the reading because almost everything is highlighted or underlined.
