Description
Wade and Ferree's first edition textbook is a lively introduction to the sociology of gender. Probing questions, the same ones that students often bring to the course, frame readable chapters that are packed with the most up-to-date scholarship available-in language students will understand. The authors use memorable examples mined from pop culture, history, psychology, biology and everyday life to truly engage students in the study of gender and spark interest in sociological perspectives.
