Gender Basics: Feminist Perspectives on Women and Men

They all raise gender-related issues that affect the beliefs and actions of contemporary women and men. The writings in this widely diversified anthology consider these issues, mainly from feminist perspectives, plus other issues equally provocative. The authors of the selections - female and male, straight and gay, and representing minority as well as dominant cultural perspectives - draw on their own experiences to philosophize and draw conclusions based on thoughtful analysis. Helpful introductions and thought-provoking questions by the editor set the stage for each article and then raise further areas for thought on the part of the reader.
