to life. I also want to thank the students in

the Psychology of Gender classes that I have

taught over the last 20 years for inspiring me

to write this book.

reviews and for lending her assistance with

the creation of the fourth edition. I also wish

to acknowledge the Prentice Hall reviewers:

berg, UC Irvine; Rosemary Hornak, Meredith

College; March Losch, University of North-

ern Iowa; Jeanne Maracek, Swarthmore Col-

lege; Tiffany Marra, University of Michigan;

Lynda Marshall, University of North Texas;

Nancy Rogers, University of Cinncinnati;

Finally, I would like to thank my family:

my mother and father for all their love and

support over the years; my husband Mark for

keeping me in touch with the “real world”

outside of academia and for challenging me

to think about gender in different ways; and

my daughter Katja for teaching me about

myself and for providing me with vivid

examples of gender-role socialization.

I

would like to thank the anonymous re-

viewers of the previous editions of this

book as well as the people who gave so

generously of their time to read and com-

ment on chapters of the first edition: Ro-

salind Barnett, Kay Deaux, Alice Eagly,

Barbara Gutek, Judith Hall, Susan Sprecher,

and Ingrid Waldron. I will always be in-

debted to Letitia Anne Peplau who read the

entire first edition of this book, provided de-

tailed feedback, and asked thought-provok-

ing questions. These people’s comments and

suggestions have greatly enhanced this book.

I owe a great deal of gratitude to the

many staff members and students at Carn-

egie Mellon University who have helped me

with each edition of the book. I especially

appreciate the efforts of Abby Kunz Vaughn

who spent countless hours helping me to

find references and statistics to update this

book. I am eternally grateful to Jamie Vance

for entering and organizing all the references

into the book, and appreciate Emily Chao’s

work in revising and creating some of the

“visuals” for this edition. I will always be in-

debted to Denise Janicki, who went through

every page of the first volume of this book

with a fine-toothed comb, asked questions

about statements that were less than sensible,

and provided creative ideas to bring the book
