This article describes a means to achieve the basic goals of a psychology of women course through stimulating reading and examining book authors' feminist positions. Guided discussions of the theses of six books allowed students to compare theory, experiences, and thinking, thus providing them with an intellectual rather than an emotional examination of value-laden materials. Students reported that their own personal change was substantial and that the instructor's advocacy was moderate. Course evaluations suggested that this strategy is an effective means to reach the stated goals.
