Paperback. Condition: Fair. Thoroughly updated and revised, the third edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives. Michael S. Kimmel challenges the claim that gender is limited to women's experiences--his compelling and balanced study of gender includes both masculine and feminine perspectives. Part 1 examines the latest work in biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology; Part 2 provides an original analysis of the gendered worlds of family, education, and work; and Part 3 explores gender interactions, including friendship and love, sexuality, and violence. Kimmel makes three bold and persuasive statements about gender. First, he demonstrates that gender differences are often extremely exaggerated; in fact, he argues that men and women have much more in common than we think they do. Kimmel also challenges the pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of inequality between the sexes; instead, he reveals that the reverse is true--gender inequality itself is the cause of the differences between men and women.Finally, he illustrates that gender is not merely an element of individual identity, but a socially constructed institutional phenomenon. A new chapter on media examines the portrayal of gender in one of the most powerful--and provocative--social institutions. Of particular interest to students, Kimmel's analysis of this dynamic, image-driven industry makes the study of gender relevant in an immediate and tangible way. Essential reading for both students and scholars, The Gendered Society is an authoritative, incisive, and lively statement about contemporary gender relations from one of the country's foremost thinkers on the subject. Kimmel's companion text, The Gendered Society Reader, Third Edition (OUP, 2008), provides a perfect complement for classroom use.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Gendered Society provides an overview to current thinking about gender in the social and behavioral sciences. Through an examination of existing literature in biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology (in Part I) and an original analysis of the gendered worlds of family, education, and work (in Part II) and the gendered interactions of friendship and love, sexuality, and violence (in Part III), Kimmel makes three claims about gender: First he argues that the differences between men and women are not as great as we often imagine, and that, in fact, women and men have far more in common with one another than they are different. Secondly, He challenges the notions of many pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of the dramatic observable inequality between the sexes. Actually, the reverse is true: gender inequality is the cause of the differences between women and men. Third, Kimmel argues that gender is not simply the property of people but that gender is also an institutional phenomenon, embedded in the organizations and institutions in which we interact daily. Additionally, Kimmel's brief Epilogue looks ahead to gender relations in the next century and in the next millennium. The Gendered Society is a well-written, well-reasoned, and authoritative statement about gender relations today. It is appropriate for scholars, students - who wil find that Kimmel's companion book, The Gendered Society: Readings, provides a perfect compliment for classroom use -- and the general reader.…
