Description
Exploring how society divides people into feminine women and masculine men, this introduction to gender provides a fascinating exploration of everyday life. Mary Holmes examines how gender has been understood and lived in the past, and how it is understood and done differently by different cultures and groups within cultures.
The book covers key sociological and feminist ideas about gender, including symbolic interactionism and second wave feminism, through to the work of Judith Butler. It illustrates these concepts with a range of familiar examples, from historical fashion trends to contemporary discussions of popular culture.
