The book progresses by first establishing a theoretical foundation in adaptability theory, and then delves into how women use cognitive flexibility for problem-solving and decision-making, emotional regulation to manage relationships and stress, and social navigation to build support systems. By integrating empirical data from diverse cultural contexts and personal narratives, ""Women Adapt Well"" provides a comprehensive, inclusive perspective.
A key strength is its focus on intersectionality, acknowledging how factors like race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status interplay with gender to shape individual experiences.
