Publisher's Synopsis
Thinking About Women provides a comprehensive review of feminist scholarship in the social sciences. It is interdisciplinary in scope, but grounded in sociological theory and research. Although the primary focus is on women, one cannot study gender without reexamining the social structure of men's lives as well. Taking a sociological perspective, this textbook shows how the experiences of women and men are created through social institutions and, therefore, can be transformed through institutional change.
