Kurzbiographie
Gail Ukockis, PhD, MSW, LSW, MA, is an educator and social worker who had taught a Women's Issues course for eleven years at Ohio Dominican University. As author of the textbook Women's Issues for a New Generation: A Social Work Perspective (Oxford University Press, 2016), Dr. Ukockis combined her intellectual insights with an engaging writing style. Her graduate studies in history, alongside her PhD in social work and practice experience with diverse clients, have given her a unique perspective on fighting sexism that stresses practical action.

DNF. This is a textbook that needs some really serious fact checking. I mean really serious fact checking. And editing.

For example: (p.78) the Rolling Stone article about rape. Rolling Stone retracted the article after it was discovered that the source was unreliable and making things up. They didn't fact check that story. And haven't fact checked other stories. It's been failing on the journalist front for a while now. The author does say that Rolling Stone did retract the story but doesn't mention that the source lied and that the publication has a history of not fact checking. Even though false rape allegations are only between 2-10% of all rape allegations, those false allegations make it more difficult for rape victims to report their rape and be taken seriously.

Elliot Rodgers. The author kept mixing up dates and didn't include the fact that he went after white women because he believed they rejected him for being biracial.

In Box 5.1 in Chapter 5 about Toxic Masculinity, she ignore parts of the conversation that demonstrate toxic masculinity and focuses on how these two men are pro-gay and women. She ignores the red flags for two tiny steps forward in other areas.

There are more examples but I had to stop reading.
