The Gendered Society Reader

The Gendered Society Reader

In <em>The Gendered Society Reader</em>, Sixth Edition, coeditors Michael Kimmel and Amy Aronson pull together an array of dynamic voices--both male and female, classic and contemporary--to examine various interpretations of gender. These lively, in-depth readings explore gender discourse over a wide range of disciplines, focusing primarily on two central issues: difference and domination. Carefully balanced to reflect the diversity of its subject, this text addresses provocative and fundamental questions including:<br><br>* How are males and females different?<br>* What do these differences mean?<br>* How to various cultures and religions interpret gender?<br>* Why do societies continue to differentiate people on the basis of gender?<br>* Why is it that almost every known society is based on male domination?<br><br>Thoroughly updated with rich and timely material, the sixth edition is the perfect complement to Michael Kimmel's textbook, <em>The Gendered Society</em>, Sixth Edition (OUP, 2016).<br>
