Review: Textbook for Introduction to Women's Studies Course - I used this textbook for an introduction to Women's Studies Course. 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.
