The authors pull together an array of dynamic voices - both male and female, classic and contemporary - to examine various interpretations of gender. These lively, in depth readings explore gender discourse over a wide range of disciplines, focusing primarily on two central issues: difference and domination. Carefully balanced to reflect the diversity of its subject, this text addresses provocative and fundamental questions.
