Download or read book The Psychological Development of Girls and Women written by Sheila Greene and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greene's approach places primary importance on temporality itself and on the competing discourses on time, age and development which play an active role in the construction of the lives of girls and women. Essential but often neglected insights from the more compelling developmental and feminist theories are woven together within a theoretical framework that emphasizes temporaltiy, emergence, and human agency. The result is a liberating theory of women's psychological development as constantly emerging and changing in time rather that as static and fixed by their nature, socio-cultural context and personal history.
