One of the most thorough studies of women written thus far.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Jane C. Ollenburger and her associates literally define the study of women's issues in this brilliantly-crafted book. Seldom has a writer blended the craft of academic research with concise story telling. One read through this book and your definition of "woman" and "feminism" is changed forever-a quite pleasant change, I might add. Well done, Ollenburger!
Defines a sociology of woman as structured inequality.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Some may find the title daunting, but this is a clear and thoughtful take on the status of women in society.The authors (according to the book there is one Ollenburger, not two) define a structured pattern of inequality, influenced not only by archaic sex roles, but by age, class, and age factors. Their unique perspective highlights their well-documented research. A strong argument for re-thinking the field of Sociology.
