Deborah Holt, BS, MA
This book was created to align with the goals and objectives of HUM210 – Introduction to Women and Gender Studies. The idea to create this Open Educational Resource came from my desire to do what I can to help reduce the cost of textbooks for students. This book is free, and you are welcome to share it. The textbook can be read online or downloaded, and when downloading the textbook you will notice there are numerous download formats available to you. For example, you may decide to download the textbook as a PDF file and save it to your computer, so you can read it offline. Additionally, the use of Open Educational Resources enables an instructor to customize a course textbook so that content is specifically designed to meet the course goals and objectives.
The content selected for the creation of the Open Educational Resource is designed to meet the following goal:
Broaden understanding and awareness of Women and Gender studies in the Humanities produced within the cultural and historical contexts of social groups throughout the world drawing upon such fields as art, literature, religion, philosophy, and music.
I hope you enjoy the textbook!
Regards, Debbie Holt
