Henri Tajfel's theory on intergroup relations is used as a model for thinking about men and women on a group level and discussing the differences between intergroup and interpersonal behavior to integrate the study of the individual within the larger social system. Strategies are described to help women challenge the imbalance of power between the sexes and achieve a positive social identity. Recommendations for further research are included, along with the idea that women must reject their position as an inferior biological group and begin to offer their own interpretations of reality.
