The Gendered Society Reader

Rating:
Summary: A Must Read for anyone studying gender
Review: 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.
