A New Psychology for Women: Gender, Culture, and Ethnicity, Fourth Edition
Hilary Lips originally published this book in 1999. She takes a multicultural global approach[2] towards gender culture and ethnicity. Her main focus is on gender and how femininity and masculinity are merged with social practices all over the world and how different these practices really are from place to place.[2][3]The criticisms Hilary Lips faces are similar to many other gender theorists. The argument of masculinity and femininity that she faces is whether gender is socially constructed or if gender is a biological concept.[4]
Gender: The Basics
This book was published in 2014. Hilary Lips attempts to show people the cultural, historical, biological, psychological, and economic differences that have controlled societies views on males and females[5]. She takes another global approach at gender to show differences between societies all over the world. This book puts more of an emphasis on gender and sex which are very similar and mutually related.[6] Again, she faces criticisms on whether gender is biological or if it is socially constructed.[4]
