Description
The Sociology of Gender combines 21 classic articles on this important topic with a broad-ranging editorial introduction. Emphasizing the categorical function of 'gender' as a social technology, this volume develops a unique approach to one of the most important areas of late twentieth century sociological thought.Combining accessible and specialized contributions to the sociology of gender, The Sociology of Gender demonstrates the vitality and breadth of gender theory within the social sciences as a whole. The book comprises a unique contribution to gender theory in its own right, while also providing an up- to-date and coherent selection of many of the key articles from the past 20 years addressed to sex and gender categories.
