Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Gillis, Melissa J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780199315468.

Introduction to Womens and Gender Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach is a truly interdisciplinary and intersectional text featuring global examples for womens, gender, and sexuality studies. Its student-centered rhetorical approach and pedagogical features--including an engaging image program, prompts for activism, a comprehensive glossary, appendices of key terms, annotated bibliographies for additional reading, and "Feminisms in Brief"--aid students in assimilating fundamental womens and gender studies terms and concepts. While it is a textbook and not an anthology, Introduction to Womens and Gender Studies adopts the best facets of the anthology approach: it includes discussions of frequently anthologized writers and writing that is more engaging and narrative in style than traditional textbooks. The book systematically covers core interdisciplinary concepts so that students are prepared for womens and gender studies courses in a variety of disciplines.
