Synopsis
A one-of-a-kind text designed to launch readers into a thoughtful encounter with gender issues
Rather than providing definitive answers about gender, the new edition of this unique book, Questioning Gender: A Sociological Exploration, exposes readers to new material that will lead them to question their assumptions. Robyn Ryle uses both historical and cross-cultural approaches―as well as a focus on intersectionality and transgender issues―to help students understand the socially constructed nature of gender. Debunking ideas of what is normal and abnormal, this provocative book explores the core theories and topics of the course, including the gender of sexuality, the gender of friendship and dating, the gender of media and popular culture, and the gender of politics and power.
