Beth:
If you want something different, controversial &
brief - try Kingsley Browne's _Divided Labours: An Evolutionary View of
Women at Work_ (1998) Yale U Press. It is an Evolutionary Psychology perspective
on the "glass ceiling" phenomena. It's part of the Darwininism Today series
on Evolutionary Psychology edited by Helena Cronin and Oliver Curry. It's
only 60 or so pages, and if memory serves about $10 from Amazon.com. Because
it is brief, it can be added on in addition to your other texts.

TIPSters,
I'm designing a new course for an aeronautical college (changing horses
to some new schools because I can no longer rationalize a long, long commute
for an adjunct position) and am hoping TIPS can help with 1) textbook suggestions
and 2) content suggestions for a course about Gender Issues, perhaps
with an emphasis on workplace issues.
The school is about 80% male, so I felt "gender" might be more appealing
than "women" - at least as a course name. ;-)
Am looking at Gender by Linda Brannon and Sex and Gender
by Hilary Lips. As for content, I'm still toying with ideas...
TIA,
Beth Benoit
