Women's studies : an interdisciplinary anthology

This interdisciplinary anthology presents major issues and controversies currently debated in the disciplines of anthropology, biology, history, literature, psychology, religion, and sociology. All the essays focus on the social constructiveness of gender and the ways definitions of femininity and masculinity influence the formation of the individual, society, and culture. Specific chapters address social and philosophical issues in women's experiences, language and gender theory, psychological and biological issues, popular culture and performing arts, and literature and gender relations. c.
