Psychology of Gender Through the Lens of Culture
This unique collection brings a rarely-seen indigenous and global perspective to the study of gender and psychology.

Familiar as well as less-covered locations and topics are analyzed, including China, New Zealand, Israel, Turkey, Central America, the experience of refugees, and gendered health inequities across Africa such as in the treatment of persons with HIV. Included, too, are examples of culturally appropriate interventions to address disparities, and data on the extent to which the...

Gender and Memory in the Postmillennial Novels of Almudena Grandes
Almudena Grandes is one of Spain ́s foremost women ́s writers, having sold over 1.1 million copies of her episodios de una guerra interminable, her six-volume series that ranges from the Spanish Civil War to the democratic period; the myriad prizes awarded to her, 18 in total, confirm her pre-eminence.

Tiempo de mujeres
Dado el momento demográfico que vivimos, la colección de volúmenes sobre literatura y mujer, de la UNED, no podía dejar pasar la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre ese gran componente identitario que es la edad. Ésta, aunque fenómeno biológico, se interpreta socialmente y se articula en las estructuras de poder que gobiernan y definen las vidas tanto de hombres como de mujeres (y no solo en ese último tramo de la vida que tanto interés despierta últimamente). Como locus político donde se asienta lo que una mujer "debe" ser, es decir su "valor" social y cultural asociado a sus papeles de género, la edad presenta un fructífero campo de investigación para los estudios de la mujer. Los distintos capítulos del presente volumen constituyen un novedoso y original estudio y una reflexión sobre la representación literaria de las mujeres y sus edades.
