Great, objective look into gender inequalities
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I wish I could force everyone I know - male and female - to reads this book! It has lead me to reevaluate unjust norms which I may have otherwise continued to accept unknowingly. The books is well written and extremely interesting, and exposes the inherent problems with existing justifications for gender inequality, while doing do in a non-preachy and objective manner supported by much research. I recommend this for everyone wishing to gain some insight in the reality of gender issues, although I believe this book could inspire interest in people who aren't already concerned with gender issues.
A Must Read for anyone studying gender
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Micheal Kimmel is already a major positive force in the area of gender studies, especially when it comes to exposing the important role that men play in the feminist movement. Amy Aronson is also a powerful contribution to this collection. This book is a fabulous academic equivalent to his anthology, Men's Lives. The Gendered Society Reader gives readers a plethora of resources on the roles that social construction plays in gender development, looking at it from the essentialist position of biological determinism to the cultural variations around the world. I would highly recommend this book to any researcher or individual interested in recent finds and developments in the field of gender studies.
