| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Thinking about Women introduces readers to how gender operates in society--influencing women's and men's self-concepts, relationships with others, life opportunities, and experiences of inequality. This text examines how gender and the differences it makes still permeate women's and men's lives. Also, the text discusses how gender is socially constructed--that is, formed through early learning patterns that are continuously reinforced throughout all social institutions. Also, the text shows how gender intersects with other social factors, especially race and class, but also sexual orientation, age, religion, and nationality, among others.

• Required Reading 11 October, 2008
It was great to be able to find this book online with Amazon.com because my professor "forgot" to tell the campus bookstore that she wanted an older edition of this work. That being said, the author is still living in the 60-70's when women were terribly "oppressed" and everything was gender opinionated. If I didn't have to read this for class, I would burn it much like a bra from a revolutionary of the times.

• Thinking About Women 08 April, 2008
I have really enjoyed reading this book. It is one of the more interesting textbooks I have read since being in college. The only downside to this book is that some of the statistics are a bit old. Other than that the sociological perspective on gender has never been more interesting.
