"Overall, Most College Students are Women is a good primer for those unfamiliar with scholarship about transformative pedagogy (including feminist pedagogy), adult learning and development, and the current status of women students in the academy. The text is well written and well organized... I applaud the editors' efforsts to include authors at a variety of points in their academic careers. Opportunities are rare for newer scholars to contribute to a volume of this nature, one that is likely to be used in diversity and social justice courses in higher education."

The number of pages has been reduced from 409 to 277 -- largely achieved by the removal of seven appendixes.

Freeman has removed outdated entries, updated some entries to reflect current usage, and added entries that cover newer trends. Numerous cross-references are included, but no illustrations.
