Abstract
Engendering psychology refers to cultivating a psychology that is sens itive to issues of gender and diversity. The increase in the number of female psychologists does not guarantee that the discipline will be r esponsive to those issues. This article reviews the progress made in e ngendering psychology by examining undergraduate textbooks and classro om instruction and looking at gender bias in both research and practic e. By engendering psychology, it becomes a stronger science and profes sion and better serves the public interest.
