Reviews
"[A]n engaging, illuminating, and panoramic book. Speaking from the Heart is filled with provocative insights." American Journal of Sociology, 'This is an extraordinarily well-written book. My belief is that undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars working in the area of gender, emotion, and identity will definitely feel intellectually enriched after reading this book. ... excellent interdisciplinary scholarship, intelligent theoretical analyses, and lucid writing make this book an important piece of scholarly work in the field of psychology and related disciplines.' Sex Roles, 'The book is particularly impressive in its accessible and engaging style, with its ample use of 'real life' examples ... which makes for stimulating and enjoyable reading. while researchers in the area of emotion and gender, across the disciplines of psychology, gender studies and others, will find it a comprehensive and valuable text, it is arguably also an appropriate resource for post-graduate teaching.' South African Journal of Psychology, Review of the hardback: 'The book is particularly impressive in its accessible and engaging style, with its ample use of 'real life' examples … which makes for stimulating and enjoyable reading. while researchers in the area of emotion and gender, across the disciplines of psychology, gender studies and others, will find it a comprehensive and valuable text, it is arguably also an appropriate resource for post-graduate teaching.' South African Journal of Psychology, "[A]n engaging, illuminating, and panoramic book. Speaking from the Heart is filled with provocative insights." --American Journal of Sociology, "One doesn't often come upon this type of scholarly book. Stephanie Shields has succeeded in writing a book that is intellectually challenging, refreshing and inspiring...[A] fantastic book that I would like to recommend strongly to anyone interested in emotion, in gender, or both." Psychology of Women Quarterly, "One doesn't often come upon this type of scholarly book. Stephanie Shields has succeeded in writing a book that is intellectually challenging, refreshing and inspiring...[A] fantastic book that I would like to recommend strongly to anyone interested in emotion, in gender, or both." --Psychology of Women Quarterly, 'Perceiving a gaping hole in the psychological study of emotion, which has largely ignored gender issues, Shields moves beyond a purely descriptive account of gender differences and toward a theoretical explanation for how and why emotion is inextricably intertwined with conceptions of femininity and masculinity. Her approach is unabashedly feminist and social constructivist, which will please many but rile others ... Shields presents a persuasive case for the dual social construction of gender and emotional expressivity. Regardless of one's theoretical perspective, this book is important and recommended for lower- and upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers interested in the study of emotion.' R. Compton, Haverford College, "This is an extraordinarily well-written book....Excellent interdisciplinary scholarship, intelligent theoretical analyses, and lucid writing...make this book an important piece of scholarly work in the field of psychology and related disciplines." --Sex Roles, "Shields presents a persuasive case for the dual social construction of gender and emotional expressivity. Regardless of one's theoretical perspective, this book is important and recommended for lower- and upper- division undergraduates, graduate sudents, and researchers interested in the study of emotion." --Choice, "This fresh analysis...is important for anyone interested in gender or emotion, in the past or present." --Susan J. Matt, Weber State University, Journal of Social History, "This is an extraordinarily well-written book....Excellent interdisciplinary scholarship, intelligent theoretical analyses, and lucid writing...make this book an important piece of scholarly work in the field of psychology and related disciplines."
