"Introduction to Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies delivers on the promise of interdisciplinarity and intersectionality. It consistently introduces challenging and marginalized perspectives--and it is not collecting those perspectives in 'silos.' They are integrated seamlessly throughout the text. The coverage is truly comprehensive and packaged in a way that holds student interest. This is the best text out there for introductory women's, gender, and sexuality courses. It is the smartest and most socially relevant text available."--Tammy Birk, Otterbein University "This book is hands-down the best. It offers the best of both worlds in one textbook: excellent historical introductions to the readings and an impressive variety of articles by feminist and gender and sexuality scholars."--Danielle Roth-Johnson, University of Nevada, Las Vegas"Introduction to Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies is both intersectional and interdisciplinary, which is exactly what I need. Virtually every article incorporates an intersectional analysis, emphasizing the impossibility of separating gender from sexuality from race. And I've seen results in my students' work-they genuinely understand the main point about the nature of oppression, which we have not seen prior to using this text. This reader is fantastic."--Lisa King, Edgewood College
