Description

Raewyn Connell's Gender in World Perspective provides a sophisticated introduction to modern gender studies, covering empirical research from around the world, theory, and politics. This influential book offers a powerful contemporary framework for gender analysis with a strong global awareness. Connell explores how gender relations are multidimensional and how they link personal life with large-scale organizational structures. The fourth edition of this book brings the statistical picture of gender inequalities up to date, offering new insights into issues such as intersectionality, populism, gender-based violence, trans struggles, and environmental change. By moving from personal experience to global problems, Gender in World Perspective offers a unique perspective on gender issues today, highlighting the complexities of embodied gender and personal relationships within the broader context of global power relations.
