"This book serves a unique niche in providing an integrative assessment of recent research on gender and development. The editors are very well informed of the important topics and issues arising in the area of gender role development, and the coverage is impressive. It will appeal to a variety of social scientists, but principally to developmental, social, and clinical psychologists." - D.
