Unwanted but necessary book

I needed this book for my psychology class. The condition it was in was pretty decent. It was a good price for the condition. Not much to say since this isn't for personal reading.

A Psychological Approach on Feminism

If you are interested in reading about various dilemmas faced by women in society, this is the book for you. Psychologists such as Stahli, Bem, McHugh, and Enns address various issues such as why battered women remain in abusive relationships, the role of cultural background in socializing, fear of rape, agoraphobia (fear of leaving the home), and the effect of gender in the classroom. I found the book to be informative and clear and would recommend it to anyone interested in feminism and the behavior of women from psychological perspectives.
