I am just starting my class, but I would like to say that I really enjoy your service. Your books are not only better in price than the universities but they are in better condition. I can't really evaluate the book, because like I said just started the course, but I want to say a big thank you for your service.

This was a new edition and very difficult to find. The cost was much higher at other places I checked. Needed for college class. Good price and delivery.

Every Women's Studies student should read this book

This is one of the most comprehensive gender studies books I have come across. Renzetti and Curran have explored virtually every avenue from sociologic/feminist/historical perspectives to childhood socialization and communication, to higher education, employment, crime, spirituality, health, government and social issues. I picked up the book to read the family/domestic violence section and could not put it down. This book should be a requirement for women's studies and gender studies students. Renzetti has done a great deal of groundbreaking work in same-sex battering and this title was great exposure to her other efforts. A remarkable researcher! I found this book at the library, and after reading 1/2 of it, I returned it, drove straight home and ordered it, so I could mark it up. It is a valuable piece of research and a work that I will reference for years to come. I wish I had found this book 4 years ago while I was an undergraduate student!
