GREAT BUY!

The book was in excellent condition. At a purchase price of 25 cents it was an amazing buy. Saved me a lot of money! Thanks!!!!

Great, objective look into gender inequalities

I wish I could force everyone I know - male and female - to reads this book! It has lead me to reevaluate unjust norms which I may have otherwise continued to accept unknowingly. The books is well written and extremely interesting, and exposes the inherent problems with existing justifications for gender inequality, while doing do in a non-preachy and objective manner supported by much research. I recommend this for everyone wishing to gain some insight in the reality of gender issues, although I believe this book could inspire interest in people who aren't already concerned with gender issues.

A Must Read for anyone studying gender

Micheal Kimmel is already a major positive force in the area of gender studies, especially when it comes to exposing the important role that men play in the feminist movement. Amy Aronson is also a powerful contribution to this collection. This book is a fabulous academic equivalent to his anthology, Men's Lives. The Gendered Society Reader gives readers a plethora of resources on the roles that social construction plays in gender development, looking at it from the essentialist position of biological determinism to the cultural variations around the world. I would highly recommend this book to any researcher or individual interested in recent finds and developments in the field of gender studies.
